My wife and I just traveled to New Mexico for the first time ever and I thought I would try to give a friend from long ago a call since I remembered he moved here! We are both saddened to find he has just passed and want to let you all know.
My wife grew up on a farm between Lowry and Glenwood and was a friend of Glenn's as well.
On a Saturday Morning in 1969 I went with Glenn to a salvage yard in Alexandria where he bought a motor for his 64 Corvair. We took it to his home in Lowry and I helped as Glenn installed it in his car, started it up and drove it that night to Minneapolis! We stayed with Bonnie on Fremont Ave until we got an apartment with John, Glenn and Wayne! The last time I saw him was at his wedding in Lowry.
Nancy and I both remember his wonderful sense of humor. He was a good friend and we always liked hanging out with him.
