With deepest sympathy in the passing of Glen. We stored our camper with him and always enjoyed visiting with him while there. He was a very sweet man and I'm quite sure will be missed by many. Heaven was blessed by his arrival.

Our deepest sympathies in the loss of your wonderful dad. When he was my Sunday School teacher, we asked him what heaven is like. He said he hoped that medium rare steaks grew on trees. We rejoice for Glenn, but pray the Lord will comfort you as you rest on His promises. He has left all of us a wonderful legacy of faith.

What an amazing man of God your father was! He always made me smile and warmed my heart with his genuine love of the Lord, life and others. What an awesome heritage we have from both our fathers who are in heaven walking the streets of gold together!!!

To Dave & Judy & family, Your father was a definite light in the Church! We loved to see him at Faith even after so many years! He left a wonderful legacy and we will miss seeing his face and hearing his voice! So glad he was able to participate in Faith's 50 year Anniversary and now he can be singing with his Lord all the time Love Mike & Gail
Love the way Uncle Glenn laughed, we will miss him

I am so sorry to hear of your father's passing. He was a wonderful man. I remember how often he encouraged me at Faith Church. He will always be a man I will think of with great memories. You will be in my prayers.
