Barbara,
sorry for your loss.

My condolences to the Arthur family, Glenn was a very consciencious legislator and regulator. Always a gentleman. I am sorry that I am away at a conference and will be unable to attend the wake or funeral to offer my condolences personally.

The SUBVETS will have your family in our thoughts and prayers.

We are so sorry for your loss.
Praying for God to comfort you as you grieve.

Glenn was a gentle man who always made us laugh. We treasure the times we worked together at Sonalysts. Debra fondly recalls her mother (Phyllis French Smith) talking about him and his loving family at church. Much love to the Arthur family. Debra and John Hanley
