As a contractor, I knew Glen Venable. He was a good kind person. I have thought about him many times throughout the years, because now I am a building inspector for the City of Winter Garden. He was very much respected and loved by everyone in the City. May you rest in peace, Glen. You will always be remembered for all the good work you have done.
