Our sincere condolences for the loss of Glen. He was a wonderful christian man that generated love to everyone that he met.



Memories are special. During a visit several years ago, I was blessed to a wonderful and memorable time. Glen and Pat took me (Linda) to the Mall of America, Glen looked at me and said "I enjoy coming to the mall", I love to "people watch" while you girls shop. He was a prince of a man and will be sadly missed.



Pat, you and your family will be in our prayers daily, we love you.

Glen was such a wonderful man. A great friend, a wonderful employee, a mentor to us youngin's at HP in the early 80's, etc. He was also a good neighbor in Shoreview. When my son, Nick, was walking our Yellow Lab, Buddy, on a hot day, Glen was most gracious in letting Nick get some water for the dog as they passed the Wikre house. Truely a gentleman was Glen, if ever there was one.



Glen will truely be missed. The world grew a little dimmer yesterday, but the heavens are shining brightly and the angels are singing loudly and merrily, as they welcome their new member.
