So sorry to hear about our cousin, Glenn. Have many fond memories growing up with many cousins. Even though we were miles apart, I tried to stay in touch. Sending my condolences to Sandra and his family. May God bless all of you. Linda Carrow & Family (daughter of Virginia Wheeler Larouche)

Judy and I send our deepest sympathy to Sandra and the family on Glenn's passing.I worked with Glenn on the State Farm Fire Claims staff for several years. We also played golf together, for several years, on the Fire Claims retirees group after we both retired. He will be missed for his friendship,
may he rest in peace, Steve and Judy LaBerge

Glen was one of the nicest and most genuine people I ever had the pleasure of knowing and working with.

I met Glenn when I first arrived at Corporate as an instructor from California. I always respected Glenn and have many good memories. At the time Glenn was the consultant for Michigan. I was new and, on a ride-along with Glenn attending a Claim Review in Michigan. I mentioned to Glenn I missed the beach in California... on the way home Glenn took me to see a lakeshore beach. I did not realize the lake was that big. Glenn did not say anything, but my guess is he thought this new California boy is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. LOL Glenn was knowledgeable and a gentleman. Our prayers are with Glenn´s family.
