Glenn was a friend in the neighborhood. He was the first person I met when I moved to UP in 1989. It was always a pleasure to see Glenn and his beautiful golden retriever out for a walk almost daily. It was nice to stop and exchange a few words whenever we would meet. He would be seen , on occasion, leading a group of students through UP telling them about the various large trees that dot the neighborhood. Glenn was a heck of a nice guy. My condolences to Karen and the Kroh family.

Dr. Kroh, and his partner in crime, Dr. Gary Ferguson, gave so much to so many TCU students through the "Western Trip." The legacy is tremendous. Oh for one more story about a plant from this guy. Miss you Glenny.

So many fond memories of Glenn and the winkle in his eyes. He will be missed by many, including the countless students whose life he touched.
