An avid fisherman, he found joy in the outdoors and often shared his love for the sport with friends and family. Glen's generosity knew no bounds - he was always ready to lend a hand, offering support to anyone in need without hesitation (although a Diet Coke was always appreciated). He was not only a loyal friend to many but also a trusted guide and mentor in his professional life, leaving a lasting impact on countless individuals. Glen was a loving grandfather to his two grandchildren, Eliza and Elliott, who brought immense joy to his life. He cherished hosting family and friends for barbecues and crawfish boils and loved watching LSU and Saints football games together. Glen had a knack for tinkering with anything mechanical, always keeping himself busy with projects. When not spending time with his loved ones, he was dedicated to helping others, whether by leading food drives or participating in various community service efforts. Glen will be remembered for his kindness, generosity and unwavering dedication to his family and friends. His legacy will live on through his three sons, grandchildren, as well as the hundreds of people he mentored throughout his distinguished career. He was the G.O.A.T.!!!
