27 years ago I was lucky to meet Murray Glenn and the laughter never stopped!
His one liners were priceless . but his caring for others even more special.
Murray never met a stranger nor was Murray ever to busy to help others.
Thank You Murray for everything you are truly a wonderful, wonderful person.
God Bless
