Glenn had a very dry sense of humor, and had mastered the fine art of telling a joke. He enjoyed cooking, and loved good food and good cheer. He loved music, wrote poetry, and was fascinated with history. He loved squirrels, and they loved him back.
Glenn was a good man, and a true and loyal friend.
