RIP, Glenn. You will be sorely missed. I remember the first time I met you, I called you " the Jolly Green Giant" and that has never changed. You really were a jolly giant with a lot of compassion for your family and friends. We love you and I know that from now on you will rest in peace and never, ever hurt again. Love to you, my brother in law.
