Glenn S. Kooyer

Glenn always held a special place in my memories, even as the year drifted by he would pop into my mind bringing a smile to my face. I would think about loading the Catalina on the trailer and heading off to do some bracket racing, or laying under his pride & joy GTO cleaning the underside for an upcoming show.

I only made it up to the cabin once or twice, but I remember one day as we drove around the back roads we came up on a car driving down the road with it's left blinker on......

Uncle Glenn, I think of you often but especially in the fall! I miss you and love you!

This morning I was thinking about and missing Glenn. This past weekend was our annual GTO fall cruise. Hope all is well Linda.

To Glenn’s Family,
I am a voice from Glenn’s “way back” past. I only just learned of his tragic, untimely death, and I am still somewhat in shock. I knew Glenn in high school in Bemidji and he was a very special person. After he moved to Rockford, I only saw him a few times in passing over the many intervening years, but it was so heartwarming to read all the comments that were posted here, which helped me get to “know” him again and see how beloved he was. What great family and...

When I search my Pc for the LSMM, I think of Glenn who put me on to the site. Ships coming and going just like life. Standing in awe of the Big ships, so it is with memories of Glenn. He reflected the LOVE OF JESUS in a very big way~ and I stand in awe.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Today would have been our 38th wedding anniversary. I always thought we would grow old together.

Glen made me smile today when I went to my 1965 Cadillac to check her out in the garage. I remember him saying you might as well buy them finished cause they will cost you much more if you do it yourself. He still speaks the truth.
