How sad it is to learn of the passing of Glen. Having spent many years at 3M working with Glen in St. Paul, New Ulm, and Brussels I can attest tp the many lasting contributions he made to 3M. He was one fantastic person to be associated with. Always positive and always caring, he left us all much better for having been in our lives. He will be long remembered.

We will forever miss our many visits with Glen and Jackie at Crooked Lake in Siren. You were more than our neighbor. You were a cherished friend and fellow Airborne veteran. We feel very fortunate to have known you.

Glenn and family, I remember working for your father at HGMS before returning to college on the GI Bill. He was a good man. I of course remember working with his son Glenn later in life on some projects too.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I always looked up to my dadhe was my hero, mentor and friend. He taught me so many things and was always there when I needed him. He provided me sound advice and passed along much of his wisdom. I'm proud that he named me after him and my grandpa. I will miss.
