I haven't seen Glenn in many a year but I'm sure he was a fine gentleman, even as he was as a young playmate. I'm reminded of what seemed like simpler times, playing all kinds of sports in the yard, working out rules and officiating differences ourselves without parents on the sidelines or referees. My condolences to Jean, Gary, Gail and the rest of the family.

I am sorry to have learned of Glenn's passing. I extend my condolences to the family. Glenn was as fine of a gentleman as I have ever know. I worked with him when he was an assisted manager at Randall's off of Jones Road and 290. Back in the early 80's, he was a quick and fast worker. We had many conversions together. I mourn his passing. He was way to young to have left us.

I am so sorry that Glenn could not win this battle. He was a great person and I have many fond memories of him in our younger years. He has always been in my prayers and all of the family will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers as you go through each day without him. I know that his laugh, smile and joking humor will be greatly missed. I will probably not be able to make it to the service, but as I said, all of you are in my heart. We must always remember the good times and may he continue to live in our hearts and bring us joy with the memory of his life.

With love, Betty Jean, Ronny, Michael, Jackie, Gretchen and Rebekah
