What a good friend and great classmate. We shared all 12 years and lots of good times. Glenn loved his high school sweetheart Rita! They were 2 peas in a pod. Will miss his great humor and wonderful smile. God bless you Rita and sons!

Glenn was a special person; always smiling and always making others smile. It was obvious that his love of his wife, Rita, and his children and family were his number one priority! We were all better off by knowing Glenn. RIP Glenn and God bless the family.
