Not sure what to say?

My deepest condolences to Glenn's family. As a PR director for Camp Fire and the Fort Worth Chamber for the past 20 years, our paths crossed at many a gala and golf tournament.
At a low point in my life around 2004, I remember Glenn and I going around in a golf cart to get some shots, and him listening to my tale of woe and reassuring me that I was a worthwhile person.
I will always be grateful to Glenn for his kindness.

My heart was so heavy hearing about Glenn's passing. We worked together for many years when I lived in Fort Worth and remained friends all these years after I left. Glenn was someone very special to a lot of people and will always be remembered as a gentle giant in life, work and friendships. His "Nurse Cratchet" stories on Facebook kept us all entertained. Our middle of the night messages when we could not sleep will be missed. He is with Sheila now. That is a blessing and comfort to...

Glenn was a cousin 8 years my senior. I was awed by his size but he seemed like a gentle giant. We were fishing one day and he crushed a metal (not aluminum) beer can with his hands...I can see it still and no doubt he loved seeing the stunned look on my face! We crossed paths only a few times after he went to college. When I bought my first football officiating gear, I was shocked to find I was buying it from cousin Glenn. Years later, I became a photography instructor to the astronauts...

When I started shooting in the Fort Worth market back in 2003, Glenn was one of the first photographers I met out in the social scene. Unlike a lot of other photographers I have known, he was open and gregarious and I got to know him over the years. Whenever there was tumult in my life, Glenn always sent a note to commiserate with me. Having been a Stock Show photographer for 10 years, I always enjoyed running into him during the run. I was worried when I didn't run into him this year. I take...

I had the great opportunity of taking care of Glenn as his home health nurse for 7 months. He was the sweetest guy once u got to know him. I'm just heart broken for him! He asked me if he and i would continue to stay in contact as friends after all, and I said of course! I'm just at a loss for words as this has taken me by complete shock! I will miss the messages he would send me every week and the phone calls when he would need to vent! I know he is now at peace and finally able to...

Thoughts and prayers to Glenn's family. He now has the best seat ever to watch the Texas Rangers. I will miss our chats during baseball season.

RIP sweet Man

Glen was a very Sweet Man and did my Photos a few times and surely will be missed. RIP Glenn

Glenn was our life long friend. He was one of the most generous and caring individuals I have known in my life. The last few years of his life were not what he wanted or expecting and he fought a very long and difficult fight. It helps us to think of him now without pain and difficulties he has suffered for the past few years.

Glenn. You will be long remembered by us and your many friends and family for a long, long time. Thank you for many fond memories.

Glenn and I were childhood friends beginning when he was 4 and I was 3. He always held it over me that he was the oldest. His parents were lovely and his sister Jimmy was a cheerleader at Heights. She really impressed me (I was little) because she was very pretty and she had a snow globe which I had never seen before. Glenn and I spent many afternoons after school playing kickball with our other neighborhood chums. Lots of great memories.

I'm sure Glenn leaves many good friends and...
