Not sure what to say?

I think of you often Glenn, especially at garden time. How I wish we could sit with a brew on the porch again and share our garden results. We are getting closer and closer to our finish line...see you soon mysoft-hearted, sweet cousin. I miss you, my brother, parents, aunts and uncles. Such good memories.

Glenn was a very loving cousin and had such a ready smile, it lit up his entire face and was infectious. He made everyone feel special. We shared our love of gardens with plants and seed exchanges. He made his back yard into a little piece of heaven! Even though Glenn lived with a lot of physical pain, he didn't complain, he had real contentment..and lived a life of gratitude for his beautiful wife and family. In his humble way, I don't think he ever knew how amazing he really was.

Here's to the Lauinger Tribe

It was so wonderful to hear friends and family share their memories of Glenn at today's celebration of his life. The years go by, and our "tribe" is shrinking, but the family ties and love runs deep and true. I'll miss you, Cousin.

Mischievous child or just an over abundance of curiosity? Glen & I tested many limits & survived, Good friend, are not adequate words. A gap in time of over 40yrs went by before we reconnected & instantly, time was seamless. Fearless-Funny & Questioning all norms...you did good brother.Your presence will be missed..but your memory will always make me smile..

As an eight-year-old schoolgirl, I always eagerly awaited the days when Glenn, my "really cool" cousin, would pull up in front of our house in his "far-out" car--nicknamed 'The Orange Julius.' I'll never forget the day when he let me go for a ride around the block in it! Glenn was full of fun and laughter. He was such a caring, tenderhearted guy. "Family" was important to Glenn, and it's easy to see that he loved his family so much and made the people in his life a priority. Even to his...

Glen we had some good tines together oh sooooo many years ago. Even though we didnt stay in touch i loved you

Loved Glenn's personality and fun times in the Turkey blind. When we meet again I'll bring the Wild Turkey for a toast!
Lots of Love to Joy.

Glenn and I used to walk to St Peter's grade school together. He wanted everyone to think that he was a tough guy, but I knew the truth. What a sweet guy. I was so happy to have re-connected with him at our 8th grade reunion, where I met his equally sweet wife, Barbara. What a loss.

Glenn was my nephew and with his dad Frank and Terry we hunted the Trask for deer and fished the Dechutes for trout. Those great times with you will always be in my
memory.
