We are so sorry to hear of Glenn's passing. Glenn had so much life experience and willingly shared his help and knowledge. He was also willing to roll up his sleeves and help if you needed it. He was generous to a fault and he loved his family. Glenn always liked to razz me about Notre Dame he knew he could get a rise out of me. Glenn was also a perfectionist in a very positive way. He loved to have his home decorated just right for Christmas and it showed. He loved to be around the people he called friends and he always made you feel like his and Ted's home was your home too. This world has lost a good man who was loved by many.

I met Glenn only once but he and Sharon's Mom made me feel comfortable talking with them as I visited their daughter in the hospital. I have known Sharon a long time and know that he must have been a good Dad to have raised her to be who she is. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
