Kayla and family, I am sad to read the news of Glenn's passing. As the years pass, the list of passing Deputies and PD Officers I remember sadly grows larger. I remember you both from my years with MHPD Reserves in the 80's and I will fondly remember Glenn, for his spark of energy and wit.

Dear Kayla,
I just found out about Glenn passing away. I am at a loss for words and am so sad. I don´t know if you remember me but Glenn, you and I went snowmobiling together at the top of Anderson Ranch Dam in the late 1980´s early 1990´s. I believe Glenn was riding a Panthers sled. I´m not certain about that. And Glenn took me down to Pine and Featherville for the first time to let me see what it looked like down there. I liked it so much I went ahead and bought some property in Pine. If it wasn´t for him I would´ve ever gone and discovered Pine and Featherville.
As a matter of fact, I went through my business cards and found his card that he gave me. I believe he gave it to me around 1990. And I remember Featherville Fun Days when my son won 3rd place in the kids snowmobile races and Glenn made sure he received his trophy. What a kind soul he was. I will always remember him.
He will be missed.

Kayla I was shocked to learn of Glenns passing. Another great peace officer lost. Riding with him was a pleasure. I can only say how sorry I am and wish you the best.
