Dennis David "Dennis the menace" Glenn

I was listening to a radio station the other day that played 60's and 70's music. I swear they played all the songs we used to listen too. Brought back a lot of memories about living on 100th and walking to Greenlake every day all summer long. I remember the very 1st time we did and it seemed like it took forever to get there but after a few times it seemed like it only took a few minutes. And there was us trying to beat mom home before she got home from work. I told her abut this yesterday and she said she knew we were going there everday! As she remembers it Royce probably snitched on us. Miss those days....Love ya

Tina found a pack of pictures of my wedding to Gary--I had burned all of the ones I had.  Leave it to Tina to be snooping in a box at moms house and find them. It was quite a shock so CJ finally gets to see a picture of his sperm donor. You and Patty are in one of them, my god it was such a long time ago. We all looked so young, guess we were, it was December 1973..I was 18 and you were 16..OMG. Love your Sis

DENNIS, CHERYL AND SKIP (ROYCE) CAME INTO MY LIFE AT A VERY YOUNG AGE. I WASN'T VERY OLD EITHER, ABOUT 15 OR 16. MY BROTHER DON MARRIED THEIR MOTHER. DENNIS WAS QUIEt, HE GREW UP TO BEING A SENSITIVE AND CARING GUY. HE SUFFERED SOME HARDSHIPS BECAUSE OF IT. I ALWAYS VALUED HIS SENSITIVITY AND CARING NATURE. HE WROTE ME A POEM ONCE, VERY LONG AGO, AND I THINK THAT PUT TO THE TEST I COULD FIND IT TODAY. I KEPT IT ALWAYS BECAUSE IT WAS SO DENNIS. BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN. WHENEVER I WOULD GET INTO THE PLACE WHERE THINGS WERE JUST TO HARD I WOULD READ IT AND IT HELPED ME TO GO ON.
LOVE YOU DENNIS, I KNOW THAT WHERE EVER YOU ARE YOU ARE TRYING TO TEACH THOSE AROUND YOU WHAT LOVE AND CARING IS ALL ABOUT.

Sorry to hear of your loss

To the end my brother Dennis love for Music kept him going. He so wanted to beat this thing and it OVER TOOK him like a freight train. It was so hard to see him go in such a manner and I stayed by his side until the end. Now you are Rockin with the Angles. May your spirit live on thru your music you so dearly loved. I will miss you brother. Love you Always Bro

I can't believe that only 4 weeks ago today were we out getting your haircut and going to Desirae's last basketball game of season. You were so excited to be able to go and watch here. At the game you were so vocal on the sidelines trying to get the girls to listen to your coaching. Even tho they lost the game you were so proud of #21 your neice. You were so looking forward to golf season so that you could see her play, maybe you will from the other side. I love and miss you so much. Cheryl

My Son "Dennis". Having 3 children by the time I was 22 was not my plan. However I accepted the responsibilty and did the best I could. Dennis was the last of the 3 and he
hit the ground running. He was the most sensitive and always showed his feelings for others, by doing small things. The Lady next door who had a rose garden, encourged him to cut the roses and every woman in his life had roses all summer long. I always felt that he was a troubadour. I could see him in some long ago setting, traveling from village to village with a guitar slung over his shoulder, bringing news of the last village and playing music for his supper. He was in and out of my life afer the age of 16. Having married and having 2 children of his own. When his little girl was 6, and his son was just a baby they divorced and the mother took the kids and disappeared. He did not have contact with them for many years. That hurt, I know, But busy lives, the years go by too fast. Dennis lived his life from cook to troubadour. Never settling on anything, always trying new things, with the Music always in the forefront. Always the Music. Go in peace and harmony. I love you.
MOM

I know I could have made a better effort to be around, especially those last few weeks. Watching you for those last couple of months was the hardest part of it all. Your greatest attribute was your optimism and cheerfulness. Around Christmas, I learned from you that no matter what, you have to be positive and stay positive. The part that hurt the most was watching even that positivity begin to fade in the end. But that positivity will always stay with me.

Dennis was my first brother in law.He came into my life when I was 13 or so.I was so happy to have another male in the family(4 sisters).His love of music was contagios and soon became one of mine.A lot of the music I play now was taught to me by dennis and my secound brother in law walt carlson.
One of my memories I have of Dennis is :One day I was walking home from school.When I got a block or so from my home a nieghborhood kid came running up to me and said "hey I just saw your dad running down the street chasing some hippy".As I rounded the corner I spotted dennis and pattys car parked out in front of our house and knew that said hippy was dennis. I have a lot of fond memories of dennis and am very sad that we lost conection.
Should of ,could of, would of these are things we all carry.In the end Iam just happy to have had Dennis in my life for the time he was, for without Dennis I would not have April and David in my life and Iam very thankfull for that.So Dennis my brother I wish you well on your new journey" remember when we were young you shined like the sun, shine on you crazy diamond" R.I.P my friend

Uncle Dennis, I think today is the first time it's truly hit me that you're gone. A bad day at school just led to me missing you a lot and this is the first I've cried about you passing.. I was never really extra close with you and I wish I would have been. It hurts me a lot to see my mom and grandma hurting so much. Mom is strong but I know she's sad. It was sad to see you hurting toward the end, but I know you're rockin' with elvis and michael jackson...that's what mom says. I think about you everyday... Miss you.

I met you once when you were helping my dear friend Royce rebuild his house. I saw one of the videos of you and though you played a mean base. I know your brother Royce loves you and it is my belief that one day after we pass we get to see all those we love that passed before us. When that day comes for me perhaps we can jam. Rest in peace.

So sorry for your loss and pain you are going thru now but at least Dennis is no longer feeling pain. I first became Dennis's friend when he was 15. The next year he became my brother-inlaw! He married my sister, but they were way to young for it to really work out. The best thing was that he gave our family April and David, his children. Dennis and Patty seperated shortly before David was born. April went to college and graduated with high honours and is the head of Eastern Washington's School District Nutritional program. Wow! We are so proud of her! She is married to a great guy, has 2 beautiful children and is the best mom ever. She made all the right choices in life:) David went into the Army and went to Iraq and was discharged with high honours. While in the Army he learned electronics and now has an awesome job wiring panels for a great company. We are so proud of him also! As my friend and Brother-inlaw I loved Dennis. It hurt me very much to see him hurt my sister and his kids but thru all that we remained friends. I haven't seen Dennis in yrs but he will always hold a special spot in my heart as a friend and the biological father of my wonderful niece and nephew. RIP you rock and roller:)where ever it is you are making music now!

I am so sorry to all of you to hear of Dennis's passing. I was so shocked to see the news of his death. I have so many memories of all of us when we were young partying in the basement....It has been many years but sometimes I hear a song that takes me right back to those times.. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Uncle Dennis,

My uncle didn't always make the best decisions in life, by me, or by our family and friends. But lets be real here, who can honestly say they always have? We all judge, and we are all judged by one another. We go through life making mistakes, taking on adventures, and learning from everything we do and everyone we meet. I truly believe, we can only strive to follow our dreams, our ambitions, and make the most out of this short life that we can.

To my Uncle music was life, music was soul, music was everything, it was his world. Dennis didn't leave this earth with possessions, wealth, or fame, however my uncle was a very rich man spending his final days music, flowing through his head, even coming out while he slept, and with his loved ones by his side.

Uncle Dennis I learned a great deal from you, and I will take what I have learned with me wherever I go. I miss you, and love you.

Wow! Just trying to wrap my head & heart around all this-To my Sweet Cousin Dennis and the family--Dennis was very special to me!! He always treated me with Love, Respect, and Kindness!!-I don't have many childhood memories without Dennis and Cheryl-They watched over and took care of me! For that I will always be Thankful..Dennis was also big part of my adult years, where he became more then just my cousin!! he was my friend!! I have so many stories that I could share...I believe the memory that I will share is the one that changed our relationship! I was no longer the snot-nosed kid that he was forced to watch:)( although what kid wouldn't have loved to spend time with Dennis at Pike Place Market listening to the music I know I loved it!!) I had issues of my own in the 90's..I felt my life was out of control..I was staying a couple hours outside of Seattle, and My Dear Sweet Dennis came to me...we hung out the whole day! Dennis shared his wisdom with me, we talked, we cried, then we had fun!!!Dennis would bust out in song!! make everything else go away!! I cherish every memory I have with Dennis!! I may have not had much contact lately but I always thought of Dennis on our special day! We share the same Birthday!!!!! I love you Dennis!!!! and Miss you Dearly!!! RIP Sweet Man!! and to my family..I so terrible sorry !!! Love to you all xxxooo

To The Family & Friends of Dennis Glen:

I would like to express my deepest condolences on the loss of your loved one. At times like this, it can make us wonder what happens to our loved ones when they die?

Please note though, that our loving Creator has promised in the Holy Scriptures to rid the earth of death, pain and sorrow by means of his son Christ Jesus and his Kingdom (Revelation 21:3,4 & Matthew 6:9,10).

May the God of comfort, Jehovah, be with you as you go through your bereavement(2Thessalonians 2:16,17). Thank you for your time.

Respectfully,
