I was so sorry to hear of Glen passing. Knowing him for over 36 years and even dating when I attended Va State, he was always fun to be around. His family is like my family and my true sympathy goes out to them. He had always remained a friend and I am so thankful for the laughter we shared, a couple of years ago, over dinner talking about the old days LOL. May he rest in comfort with Jesus.
