Glenn was a good friend and mentor. Always up beat and never petty. Still miss him and never go by his street without thinking of him.

Dear Mrs Shirley, Debra and Butch,

We are so sorry for the passing of Mr Glenn. May God comfort you in this time of loss. Mr Glenn was a wonderful man. As I told you at the funeral, he was so good to my Mom. There is no way she could have raised five kids on her own without the help and generosity of him. He was a very caring and giving man.
