Glen was like a brother to me, although I was his niece (daughter of his brother, Eugene). Glen, in turn, considered me his "sister" as we both grew up in his mother's (my grandmother's) household. He always had a good sense of humor, and my husband and I were so thankful we got to visit with him about a month before he passed. He will be missed but never forgotten by our family.

So sorry for your loss- we always enjoyed conversations with Glen- his insight into situations was refreshing. Sharon, I am so thankful we got to see you both that day at Friches in Sidney a couple months ago. I wanted to attend the funeral but my youngest was sick overnight and into the morning.
