GLENN L LEATHERY II
December 6, 2022
May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I will always have found memories of T. Glenn and his late wife Claudette along with the rest of the beautiful Horst family for the past 40 or so years at auctions. He always had a smile and a kind word and made auctions fun. When I heard of T. Glenn's passing I looked at the items that were purchased at his auctions years ago and my heart felt sorrow and warmth for the Horst family. These items all have a really good story attached to them. But in our maturing years I realize stuff is stuff and it's now about people. I feel blessed to have known him and his family. God bless your family and your dear close friends in this time of sorrow. The Leathery family will pray for all of you.
