Joe Glenn was my boss in HUD in the 1980's. He promoted me and was somewhat a mentor. I'm very sorry to hear of his passing. My condolences to his family.

Joe was my boss for awhile at HUD in Fort Worth. He was one of the nicest bosses I ever had. After retirement, many years ago, my husband and I ran into him at a bbq restaurant here in Burleson. He had just finished playing golf & was with some of his buddies. My sympathy to all of his family members.

I worked with Joe in the Lubbock HUD office. Eventually I transferred to Fort Worth as well. He was the ultimate gentleman and a very nice person to work with. My deepest sympathies to his family.
