Gilcrest, I'm still in disbelief that you are no longer with us but you have made it impossible for anyone who know you, to forget you. You were very out-spoken, unnerved, and a force to be reckoned with but also very passionate, very cool and had a big heart. Remember when we all use to sit and chill and have so much fun and it wouldn't take long before you would say something that would make the next person want to choke you?!?!? You would just laugh, never meaning any harm but I would always look at you and tell you..."Gilcrest, that's why you have no friends!!! It was all love and meant to be all in fun and laughter. The truth is, You DO have many friends that love you, and we'll always think of you. You will be truly missed. May peace and blessings be upon your Sons and Family. Rest in Peace, my friend. And I promise to study the dictionary often!

I am sad to hear that your father and grandfather has passed away. I worked with Glenn for a long time. He was proud of all of you as his children. There was not a day where your Dad did not laugh or crack a joke. If you knew Glen he had swaggered in his walk and his talk. He genuinely loved people and life. He never met a stranger. If he was not laughing or cutting a joke about something, one could find him in deep thought about the world. He was an extremely deep thinker and loved putting facts and pieces of information together to come up with a conclusion. He also loved to debate. May God bless you and your family during this very difficult time. Glenn rest in peace.
