Glenn always held a special place in my memories, even as the year drifted by he would pop into my mind bringing a smile to my face. I would think about loading the Catalina on the trailer and heading off to do some bracket racing, or laying under his pride & joy GTO cleaning the underside for an upcoming show.

I only made it up to the cabin once or twice, but I remember one day as we drove around the back roads we came up on a car driving down the road with it's left blinker on... for miles. Glenn grins and says to me that when he retires up here that is what he wants to do - drive around with his left blinker on. That stuck with me over the years (decades), whenever I saw a old guy driving down the road with his left blinker on I thought of Glenn.

Life took me across the country, yet Glenn stayed in my thoughts. Now decades later here's Glenn in my thoughts so I felt the need to search the internet. I was shocked to read of the accident, sadden to read of his death.

Years and miles apart I always thought of Glenn as my friend.

Glenn - May you be driving your favorite Pontiac leaving the left blinker on.

To Glenn’s Family,
I am a voice from Glenn’s “way back” past. I only just learned of his tragic, untimely death, and I am still somewhat in shock. I knew Glenn in high school in Bemidji and he was a very special person. After he moved to Rockford, I only saw him a few times in passing over the many intervening years, but it was so heartwarming to read all the comments that were posted here, which helped me get to “know” him again and see how beloved he was. What great family and friends! What a great life! What a great guy! I’m so very, very sorry that you lost him so young. My own husband passed away at age 44 from a brain tumor. I know what a giant hole gets torn into the fabric of your life with such a huge loss, and while now five years have passed, I know that your loss has not passed and that “hole” is still there. I wish you all continued strength and wanted you to know that one more heart is now grieving along with you. God bless you all.

When I search my Pc for the LSMM, I think of Glenn who put me on to the site. Ships coming and going just like life. Standing in awe of the Big ships, so it is with memories of Glenn. He reflected the LOVE OF JESUS in a very big way~ and I stand in awe.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Glen made me smile today when I went to my 1965 Cadillac to check her out in the garage. I remember him saying you might as well buy them finished cause they will cost you much more if you do it yourself. He still speaks the truth.

Hi Family, Just a little update on Glenn's Safari. Everywhere we drive it, people are so drawn to the color that Glenn chose for the car. It gives us just another chance to give credit to Glenn and to talk about him. He is watching from the heavens and smiling big time!

July 7, 2006

Dear Linda and Family, We were only phone contacts and did not really know Glenn. Just love how he loved talking about cars, since we, too, are "carpeople". Now he is "cruisin'in heaven" for sure! My husband and I just went to a Pontiac Convention in Ontario, California. Lots of GTO's and a few Safari's present. Bet Glenn was looking down from heaven and enjoying it too. May God bless the family with their healing process of losing such a great person...We celebrate his life with you.

Dear Linda, Adam, and Brian,



My heart breaks for you. Glenn has always been very special to me. He was a friend, mentor, a big-brother, a father figure, much more than a just my uncle.



It was during the summer of 1978 that Glenn allowed me to spend a few weeks at your home in Lakeville. He taught me how to fish for Crappie and Sunnies. Took me water sking on the St. Crouix. During that time he OK'd the use of the old station wagon to help me get my drivers liscence...remember! The roads have never been the same since that time.What a brave man!



Then in 1984-85 when I was going through some personal struggles he listened as I poured out my heart in frustration, counseled me, gave me a place to live and help me get back on track. He helped me find a car to buy, find a job, and pointed me in the right direction.



He has influenced my life in so many ways. His faith in the Lord has always been an encouragement.



Like beacon's on the water pointing the way home, you and Glenn became God's instruments pointing me back to Him.



Thank you for sharing him with me and I thank the Lord for the loving way Glenn shared his life with me.



I love you, you are in my prayers and look forward to seeing you soon.

Anne Carter

It sounds odd but Glenn's service was very uplifting for me. I know he's with the Lord and that has helped me through a lot this week. (I think he's playing golf with my dad today!)



You all are family to me and I love you deeply. Call me anytime - I will be here for you.



Love,

Anne

It has been a shock to the entire family and just a note that we brought Glenn home to St. Peters Catholic Cemetery in Park Rapids yesterday, Saturday, October 22nd. We will be forever greatful for your attempts to assist him. It is people like you that make the world a better place. God's blessings to you. ~Kelli~

Linda, Brian and

Adam.



It's so hard to say all that runs through our minds and hearts at the most difficult and trying moments as these. Know that we can never understand fully the heartache that must be with you all now. Glenn has ever since I can remember always been full of caring,kindness,fun, energy and family values. I believe he fully did what he believed was best for all that he met and came in contact with. From the smiles and gentle words to the way that he gave off the warmth of a caring person he always seemed to be more interested in who he was inter-acting with than himself. Truly this was his gift that he gave to others. We love you all as only family can and we miss Glenn. But we know that we will see him again with his smile and warm words on another day another time and another place. God bless..... Steve & Trish Wiskerchen

To The Kooyer Family,

Although we have never met, your family has been in our prayers constantly since Sunday evening. My husband and I were the first on the scene of Glenn's boating accident. We observed him as his boat came in and ran to his aide but there was not enough time to reach him. My husband, Steve, helped in getting Glenn to the shore. I can't even begin to tell you how sorry we are for the loss of your loved one. He sounds like an amazing man. You will all remain in our thoughts and prayers forever.

Remember, God will take good care of your husband, dad and grandfather.

Sincerely, Kathy Soucy

Dear Linda, Adam & Brian:



It's so hard to put what I feel into words, my brain has been numb and foggy since I heard the awful news. I know my heart is broken and yours are too. I'll never forget him, how could anyone? He was so spiritual, you just gotta feel him out there, when you look out in the big blue sky. Glenn: I love you, big brother..

August 13th 2005 we drove to Bemidji to spend a little time with my dad Jim Kooyer(Glenns brother) this is the week end each year the Kooyers gather in Bemidji. We arrived at the Royal Oaks campground inside the recreation room and were greated by a small group of the Kooyer family. Glenn greated my with a "hey it's our radio star"! Hugs for everyone! I spent some time that day talking with Glenn and Linda about the radio show I co host in Hibbing, a radio show Glenn and Linda listen to. Glenn really wanted to have a radio station of his own, so that passion was something we could talk about for hours! I treasure that short time talking with Glenn and I treasure the emails that came from Glenn just a couple weeks ago.



....talked to Jim tonite his spirits seem up & down but he seems ok. Like your radio program................ Glenn





This is Miller Creek 3 blocks from my house. It runs under hwy 53 in

Duluth ......



It was Monday morning, October 17, 2005.....Craig and I do our first break at 5:50, Craig does the news and I usually will comment here and there about some news. I was half listening when he said a Glenn Kooyer was killed in a boat accident in Duluth. I was in shock, not sure if I heard him right and immediatly following the news cast I had Craig pull the story up. I could hardly breath, I was so....beside myself. I wasn't sure of Glenn's middle name nor his age but I was pretty sure it was him and yet it was so hard to believe. I called Kathi, she struggled to believe me, or coarse, shocked as well. She called my father and called me back letting me know it was Glenn. I have had a calming peace come over me several times since Monday when I start to get really emotionally stressed, I know without a doubt that peace comes from God above. I will see Glenn in heaven.



Linda, Adam, Brian.....God's peace, understanding, comfort, love, and guidence be with you!



In Love,

Your world was turned upside down this week and I know how your hearts much ache. We treasure so many wonderful summer memories of Long Lake events. Glenn was always the "go to guy" who had time to share a laugh, tell a story, or lend a hand. Our family is blessed to have been your neighbors! While many miles separate us, we are with you in thoughts and prayers. Stay strong and lean on the Lord for He will sustain you with His love and grace. Fondly, Ed, Maggie, Hillary, and Kyle Koser

Dear Linda, Adam, and Brian



I have so many great memories of Glenn. I had the privlage of working for him in the mid 90's. He was by far the best boss I have ever had. He was always so positive and had one of the best outlooks on life. Even though I was just an employee of his he went the extra mile for many on several occasions while working for him.



I have remained close to his son Brian and Wife Wendy and will truly miss hearing about his latest endevors.



I am so happy to know he is with his maker in Heaven. Our prayers will be with you.



Love the Jason Easty Family

He will truly be missed by so many -and we are two of them.

Dear Linda, Adam and Brian,



Words cannot express our heartfelt condolences for the sorrow and pain that surely must be enveloping you all at this time. Your husband and dad was just the GREATEST of guys to know and befriend; we can't express how much he'll be missed by us and all who knew him.



Glenn was by far the easiest, most open and genuine person you could ever have the pleasure to know. He never dwelled on his expectations nor let them ruin the moment. However things would go would be OK; 'cuz, by Glenn's way of thinking, there was always next time...and if there wasn't a next time, the last time was pretty darn good anyway!



No matter how often or how long it would be between meetings or visits, Glenn never made you feel like you had to reacquaint or re-acclimate; you always got to pick up wherever you left off last time. "Low maintenance" I guess you could call him! When he walked through your door with that big "baby-face" smile, the sunshine came right in with him. That squint and those twinkling eyes that always made you wonder what was really revving up in the back of his mind would instantly "pull you right in"! We'll miss that.



Fond and warm will forever be our memories of times and experiences together. A weekend at the cabin, car shows and events, cruizin', Wednesday garage nights, surprise office visits...even just having him "click in" on my NEXTEL to B.S. while he was motoring to or from the Cities. What a huge hole he leaves that now can only be filled with the wonderful memories he helped to create.



Upon hearing the sad news on Monday, Laurie expressed that "we just lost one of our angels". Tony and Jimmy remembered what a "nice guy" he was, always taking time for them like they mattered and even borrowing them the "beginner water skies" they first got up on...oh yeah, and that cool Safari! I'll always reflect on how Glenn lived as an example for me, of how to appreciate what you have. His way was to put things in a simple perspective: Enjoy this life and be content that sometimes a little less is better than a bit too much. Put your best foot forward and give it your best shot! Be happy with yourself if you've done all that.



So Linda, Adam and Brian, our family keeps you, your families, and everyone else who has experienced this tragic loss in our prayers. May God help to heal the hurt and refill your emptiness. You three, especially, are truly and most thankfully blessed with the best "Glenn Memories" of all...what a priceless treasure for you to forever hold. May we all find peace in the Faith that the next time we meet Glenn, we'll get to pick up right where we left off!



Sincerely,

Glenn at July 4th picnic

“Uncle Glenn is coming!” I always loved Uncle Glenn, my Dad’s little brother. It was the late 60's, he’d drive up in his little black Volks Wagon Beetle; he was a handsome young bachelor at the time, no cares in the world. I hoped there’d be a day of fishing with Uncle Glenn.

“Can you ask him Kathi, ask your Dad if we can use his boat to go fishing in the morning?” Uncle Glenn asked me. My Dad’s fishing boat was his prized possession back then, in my mind I knew he’d say no but I agreed to ask. I was always content to fish off the end of the dock, but to take Dad’s fishing boat with Uncle Glenn, it’d be worth the try. My heart was racing, I just knew Dad was going to say no. “Dad” I asked with slight hesitation, “would it be all right if Uncle Glenn and I took the boat out fishing tomorrow?” With a half-smile on Dad’s face, he said, “sure you can”.



I turned and ran to let Uncle Glenn know we could use the boat. This was huge in my book, Dad trusting us with his fishing boat. To this day I remember the joy and excitement I felt that day. I could hardly sleep the night before, Uncle Glenn and I were up at the crack of dawn. I remember we wasted no time, we flew down the steep set of stairs in record time. I always sat in the front of the boat, I was the anchor person, which was a very important job back then (or so I thought).

The anchor person was in charge of throwing out the anchor when we finally arrived at the perfect fishing spot, the anchor person was also in charge of pulling up the wet, heavy anchor when it came time to leave.



I love you very much and I'll miss you Uncle Glenn, but I know "our" love for Jesus will bring us back together to fish once again, in God's time.



May all the Kooyer family be filled with the love of Jesus in this time of sorrow.



I love you all!

My sadness and my sympathy. Glenn was my classmate when we were very young. He was special to his brother Richard, and Richard was special to me. The few times I got to see him as an adult, I could see why Dick thought he was so special. It pleased me to see and visit with Glenn. I can only imagine the loss to all who cared for him.

hello linda



my sincere condolences to you and your boys on the loss of your husband glenn. we were coworkers at bakke insulation in 1979. (i worked there between college years--my older brother is ron watkins) glenn was a great guy to work with. i was the apprentice and he was the journeyman but he took me under his wing and showed me how to be an insulator. and he also was kind enough to include me the new guy on the fishing trips (kabetogema and canada) with the other guys and we even went water skiing a few times in the metro area. i remember his sense of humor and his problem solving abilities....and also his comment about neil young cant sing! i wish our paths had crossed more recently. i remember meeting you in the driveway of your home when you were pregnant. again linda i want to say how sorry i am for you and your sons. i will cherish my fond memories of glenn.

Uncle Glenn was such a special person. I want to say that he was my favorite uncle, but then, I would hate to pick favorites. :-) He was so full of life, love, and God, always an inspiration to one's life. He will always hold a special place in my heart and life, as we shared the same birthday, June 26th, and of course the love of Pontiac GTO's. In loving memory and sympathy, may he rest in eternal peace.

In Christ's love,

Our prayers and sympathy. We are sad to hear the news but will have good memories from the "car club days" and the Land of Lakes GTO club meetings! Glenn always shared such great information about musicians and music from the "GTO" years! It will not be forgotten.
