Pat, I'm so sorry to hear about Glen. He was a heck of a person. I always thought very highly of him. After all, he in a round about way named Tracy.

Even though we are not blood related Glen will always be a grandpa to my children. We will miss him terribly. It would always make me smile when I would either drop off my kids or pick them up from Pat's and Glen's and Glen would always say "bye mama". Those two words I will always remember. We will always love you Glen. Pat, we are here for you and we love you. Becky, Erie, Abby, Tammy and Thomas.

Glen was a good friend and was always ready to help. Even though I hadn't seen him in a few years, I'll always remember his smile. Our thoughts are with Pat and the family at this difficult time.
