Glenn worked for my husband as an apprentice for quite a few years (in his younger years) before him marrying and having children. He always worked hard, had a smile, and his laugh was unique! What a great guy who will sure be remembered fondly with a smile. So saddened for Glenn's family. How fortunate to have had him for a husband, Dad, son, brother, sister. Our deepest, heartfelt sympathy
