Glenn was Dad's first employee here in Carlisle after their joint tenure at Daily Express. He started our operation here and he had to do everything in the beginning. He was responsible for bringing the first customers in the door. He was a stalwart throughout his time with Keen. He will be truly missed. I am not in town but you will be in my prayers.
