Oh Glen, I can't believe you have left us. I treasure our friendship at Lucent, etc. We had good times with all the Lucent family. Remember "Meet in the parking lot on Saturday and run away". You, me and Joe Fox. You are in God's loving arms now. Your and Judy's love lives on here on earth. You will be missed more than you know.

I was a classmate who was a year younger than Glen. I was on some the teams in H. S. and have fond memories of playing
with and watching Glen in football, basketball, and baseball. Pound for pound, Glen was one the toughest and athletic player on the team. He gave it all and never gave up. He was a true warrior on the field and I am glad to have known him as good and kind. I respected him and may God bless him and surround him with peace and love, and prayers for his family at this time.

Glen was the best friend of my brother Ron, but he was like a member of our family because he was either at our house or Ron would be at his. Glen had a great Dad, Mom and Sister. I can't recall all the good times we had, but we had a lot of laughs and fun times together. Glen was a competitor in every sport he played. He was an awesome baseball pitcher, basketball and football player. Glen had the nickname "Rattler" on the football team for the vicious hits that he put on people as a cornerback. Glen was a tremendous success as a husband to Judy, as a father and grandfather to his children and grandchildren. But the most important thing that I know and can say about Glen was that he had a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and that means he has conquered sickness and death and is alive and well in glory today! One day in Christ we can see him again. Loved Glen Herbst!!!

I was one year ahead of Glen during high school. After graduation and leaving for college, I had very limited contact with Glen. While I lost track of him during the “family” and “career” years, I certainly do remember Him during our high school days. Glen and I were on the football team and he was one of the scrappiest, most determined, “never give up” players on the field. He wasn’t the biggest man on the team, but he was formidable and respected as a team member and valued as a friend.
I am pleased to have known him. My thoughts and prayers are with all the members of his family.
May God cover you with His boundless peace and comfort.

I met Glen when he and Judy were coaching Dionna's softball team. Glen was always a GOOD competitor. He and Judy treated their players with respect. Glen always looked out for others. I remember them inviting my daughter and I to their place for a bonfire and hayrides during the FALL. Our paths would occasionally cross; then discussing what was happening with his daughter and my daughter. I'll always remember the good which Glen displayed. He was what us old timers call "One of The Good Ones".

Glen was one of the nicest, happiest, and caring people we have ever known. Everyone will have good memories of Glen. He is one of the "good guys" and will be missed. Our sympathy and prayers go out to Judy, Dionna, Lori, and Todd and all family members and friends.

Judy, Dionna & Family,
How lucky we have been to have had someone so special, that makes saying goodbye so hard. Glen was a treasured friend who brought so much joy, companionship and love to many. May you always cherish these fond memories and keep them forever close to your hearts.
You have our deepest sympathy and we will keep all of you in our prayers.

Glen and Judy have spent many hours as a team keeping all the Western Electric, AT&T, Lucent Technologies members in contact with everything going on, no one will be able to replace this team.

What a joy it was for me to just now read all of these wonderful comments from those who also loved Glen. Especially from my dear friend Ronnie Hogan who I was also very close to while living in Flat River. Praying for Melinda, Ron. And let me add my voice to what wonderful people Glen's parents Irene and Earl were and also his sister Mary. They were so kind to me as a kid. I was fortunate to have such a kind childhood friend as Glen Herbst.

Many good memories with Glen, Judy and family. Rest in peace friend.

Glen and I were best friends growing up in Flat River. We went to junior high, high school and college together. We took the same classes, played the same sports, and did everything together. After we graduated from MAC we even interviewed at the same companies and worked together at Western Electric in St. Louis. Glen got drafted into the Army and served in Vietnam. I ultimately changed jobs and moved to North Carolina, where I still live. Even though we weren't able to be together much through the years, I still loved Glen like a brother, and always will. Now, my wife Melinda is fighting cancer so I won't be there for Glen's services, but my heart and soul will be there for Glen, for Judy, and for all of their wonderful family. May God bless you all. RIP Glen! I love you man!

Glen is one of the kindest men I know. We are devastated by his passing. So unpretentious, always giving of himself, never asking for anything. He will be so missed.

Glen was a one of a kind human being. I never saw anything come from him that wasn’t kindness. I’m so glad my family and I got to know him. We’re better people for knowing him. Glen will be dearly missed.

I grew up across the street in Flat River where Glen lived with his parents. Several years older than myself, closer to my Sister, Jeanne’s age. Earl and Irene were two of the greatest people you would ever meet. Glen was raised by two of the best. I didn’t know him after he moved away. But I believe everything being said about him. May his beloved family find peace in this sad time. He is reunited with Mom and Dad watching over his family.
