Glenn was a beloved member of the Glover community and is known for his many years of service in the Glover Fire Department and the Ambulance Squad, for working on the Glover road crew and for his help with the sewer department. He had a strong presence in the community and people knew that he was only a phone call away if he was needed to help out in any way. Through the years Glenn worked in a few different jobs, but near the end of his career, he was able to help establish the manufacturing department of Radiant Floor Company as shop foreman.
Glenn met the love of his life when he met Beverly. It was love at first sight. Beverly knew a good thing when she met this kind hearted, giving, loving man. With open arms, he lovingly welcomed Beverly and her daughters into his life. He was blessed with 43 years of a loving marriage, family (including treasured pets), time with friends, Community Circle trips abroad, camping at Willowood Campground with wonderful friends, family get-togethers at the pool, grandchildren and great grandchildren visits, and holiday gatherings! He also enjoyed fishing & going to the races with his wife and grandson, Zack! In his final days on earth, he reflected and shared how blessed he had felt with such a wonderful life. He also shared that he was ready to be reunited with the love of his life, Beverly.
Those who knew our dad, grandpa and papa, will always remember him for his selflessness, unconditional love for his family and friends and willingness to do anything for anyone. He will be greatly missed by many, but will remain in the hearts and memories of his family forever.
