Not sure what to say?

We had our Class of '61 reunion more than a year ago and it's always sad to acknowledge that Glenn isn't with us anymore. He was a very good friend of mine and I sure miss not being able to see or talk to him. Dr. Lloyd Porter

I am sorry to hear of Glenn's death. He was both of my daughter's music teacher at Nelson Crane School. Our condolences go out to his sons especially and my dear friend Marsha.

Glenn, was my cousin,and we grew up together in Colorado Springs, both the same age, we had great times together, and I will miss him very much !!!!

We have known Glenn and his family for a very long time. He brought a lot of joy and beauty into the world through his musical talent and through those he shared it with through his teaching career. We are so very sorry for his tragic death. We extend our condolences to Glenn's family.

We will all miss him and hope that he is, indeed, having the pleasure of his favorite music forever.
