I just found out about Glenn. Although I had not seen him in many years, I always considered him to be a very good friend. He had a great sense of humor and was just a very nice guy. You have my deepest sympathy.

Just found out that Glenn has passed away. I am very sorry to hear this and my condolences to the family. We were in the same Notre Dame HS graduating class of '56. We had been sending e-mail for a long time and had no indication of any illness.

David & Aunt Francis,
It is never easy to say good bye (for a while) to our loved ones who go before us. But we can find comfort in the goodnes of God and be happy for Glenn while our hearts may ache to have him here with us. His quick humor, great smile and robust laughter was a gift from God and will be rememered by many. I keep looking for an email from him and keep finding those I want to share with him.
My love is with you and with all our extended family.
God bless and love

Glenn was a true friend to the whole Dubaz family, he was a great friend to my father, Luke "LJ" Dubaz, a loyal fellow statesman to Larry, and great fishing partner to Don "Dubee" and myself. I will cherish our memories on our annual fishing trips, morning coffee at the slavonian lodge and the days spent at Biloxi Bait and Harbor.
Farewell friend

I spent many years as a child with my grandfather in Jackson, weekends boating and always having a great time with my grandparents. I miss those times and I am grateful for the memories. My time with him as a child/teenager is apart of who I am today. He is reunited with my father and his son.

Mr. Endris was such a good teacher, he taught us at JD in 1971-1972. We remember when he first ran for office, he passed out pencils with his name on them. Our sincere sympathy on your loss.
