Please accept my personal condolences to the Anderson family. Glen was such a giving man. I considered him the official photographer for the Lindhurst Marching Band. He donated his time and efforts for our yearly photo. Glen and his family also lost quite a bit in the 1986 Flood. He was always positive despite what he had went through. May God bless and comfort the family during this time.
