Glenn Harris had everything and everyone else before himself. Was the first real father figure to me as a young boy trying to figure out my purpose in life. He instilled integrity, honesty and character as most important to live by. Appreciate his work with me. I simply don´t understand why we leave this world, other than our time is up. I pray for he has made a difference in every aspect of his life into YOURS!!
