Glen was such a sweet, hardworking, wonderful man. He has always helped others throughout his entire lifetime. Glen was such a great cook and fed the community for many years. I am blessed to have known such a gentle soul and to have met some of his family. I am praying for Glen’s family during this difficult time of loss and praying the Lord will wrap his loving arms around them to bring them comfort.
