OMG, I was thinking of Glenn today and remembering some of the good times At Transcon Lines in Richmond when we worked and traveled together back in the 1970's. Have not seen or heard from him in around 30 years. After thinking of him I decided to google him and reach out to say hello after all these years. Instead I found this obituary over 7 months after his passing.

Glenn was a wonderful and kind spirit, always fun to be around and seemed to always have a kind word for everyone he met. Hopefully I will meet him again on the other side. Rest in peace my friend. I pray that his family is doing well and wish them all the best.

Dear Mary and family, I am so very sorry and sad to learn of Glenn's passing. I have known him and his Mom for most of my life, they were such fun, and I treasure our fun times. Glenn's sense of humor was beyond compare. I pray your memories will help comfort you during this sad time, and know I am thinking of you all. My deepest sympathies, Martha
