Glenda & Paul....I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of my dear friend, Glenn. He and I spent many hours fishing down in Frostproof....putting out on the lake at midnight and coming in at 4 a.m....just to watch Ms. Mary at the door ready to get onto the both of us! I'll miss him, but know that I'll see him again one day in Heaven. May the Lord bless your family in your loss, but Heaven's gain!

We are so sorry for your loss. Glenn was a wonderful man and good friend to our dad, Clyde. His wood-working abilities were awesome. May God comfort you. Love, the Kieffers

To the family:
May God bless you through your loss. Glen was a great friend to Kim and I and a wonderful mentor to me in my early days in the fire service. Many times through the years I have shared that Glen is the reason I became a firefighter. I shared my appreciation with him when I became the Chief of the County Fire Department. He took it in his typical "aw shucks" style.
In the end, Glen will be remembered by you as a good family man and provider. He will be remembered by many as a good man and community servant. If at the end of our time on earth these are the words spoken of us, we have truly lived a good life.
