Please accept my sincere sympathies on your loss. I worked with Glenn at B&H in the 80’s and have told my “Glenn” stories to hundreds of people. “Fantastic” often meant we were lost.

Every B&H office we visited in the Midwest had a warm welcome for Glenn. If we stayed overnight, the hotels knew him and he always knew a great restaurant….he just didn’t quite know how to get there. My fondest memories are the pipe and the Triumph!!

Great memories about a great guy.

Poppie will be remembered as always having a great outlook on life, so matter where the road took him. Poppie, Heaven will love having you there! God's blessings to his family, especially Wendy and Glen who took such great care of him.

I never knew him but heard nothing but wonderful things about him from his daughter-in-law, Karen. My thoughts are with you all at this sad time.

Poppie will be gretly missed! His optomistic outlook on life, his love for his family and friends, his concern for all he met, his hearty "Fantastic!"! All of these things made up a unique human being who was a joy to know. Heaven is an even happier place, now that Poppie is there! Poppie, we love you!
