Norma & Roland,

Sheila told me of the sad news. I couldn't help but think back to the fun times with your family when we were in Valpo. I'll still remember Ken Glen & Roland as wild 'n' crazy, but loveable teenagers. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. No time is the right time for the loss of a child or sibling - no matter what their age. May you find comfort and healing in precious memories. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and hoping that in time, peace will fill your hearts.

I worked with Ken at COEX. Although it's been many years since I have seen Ken, I remember him having a very happy and laid back personality. He was a great pilot. My deepest sympathy to Heidi and all of his family.

I flew with both Heidi and Ken at Continental Express and again with Ken at Continental. He was truly a pleasure to be around and a great pilot to fly with. He had a great sense of humor, always upbeat, and loved to have a fun time. You always knew when you were flying with Ken it was going to be a trip full of belly laughs and chuckles. My sympathies and condolences to Heidi and her family. He is going to be sadly missed by the lives he touched and souls he made laugh.

Ken, I didn't know your family, but they have my thoughts & prayers. YOU, however, I am familiar with! During the TJ days and especially your stunt down at Vincennes University (you know what I'm talking about). You were a good & fun guy, Ken. I'll always remember you that way. God bless.

Norma & Roland,

Kurt and I are so sad to see this article. It's been many years since we've seen your family, but we know how special Ken Glen was as a teen-age son, and now as a husband and father. Our deepest sympathies for your loss.

Norma, you and your family are in my prayers. I haven't seen you all in so very long, but I remember what a great family you are. Your son was very special, and my family and I will always remember him.

We are so very sorry for your loss. We were in shock when we saw the notice. We last saw Ken with his Mother about 2 years ago. We had a very nice visit. We will miss Ken. He was really a rascal, as a teenager at the Pines , but he grew up to be something really special. We will never forget him. With deepest sympathy to his family and friends for their loss, and ours.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Miles family. I saw Ken, Miranda, and Ken's mom last year in a Hobart store. I'm glad I said hello. VHS Class of '83 has lost a friend, not just a classmate. Ken's a great guy, gone too soon.
