You left a print in my life that will never fade,or wear away with time. I'm sorry I didn't come to any of your services. I couldn't handle the thought that you were gone. Even now...

On behalf of the Olive Branch Mission family, I extend our heartfelt condolences to each of Glen's family. Over the years, Glen and Pat, their family and many they knew were such a blessing to the mission.

By the time I met Glen, he was semi retired and living at the Olive Branch Mission. He and Pat had left the comfort of the suburbs and were doing missionary work in a skid row mission, and back then it was not anything like you see there today. It truly was skid row. He worked tirelessly on that old building after working his shift and never complained. I was proud to know them
I will forever be grateful to Glen for being a wonderful grandfather for Todd. Todd always knew that he...

He will be missed by all who knew him, especially by this sister. I know there are a lot of family waiting to welcome you home.

Always the thinking one, when he shared his thoughts, you listened. He talk me to talk less and listened more. March, 7, 2003
