Glen was my family's "go to" barrister. Humble despite being a terrific counsel. He never complained except about the Department. He spoke often of his beloved wife. My abiding memories of him are:- the first day I met him stirring up a storm along with Bernie Balmer,at Prahan court; nestling happily amongst pale apricot and pink cushions in his and his 4 women's home; and winning a case with only ONE question in cross examination. A truly authentic and wonderful person. Rest in peace.
