Hello Brad & Brent,

Though I am just now hearing of your folks passing, I would like to acknowledge how simply loving and caring they both were to me, as well as so many others. It was a privilege to share time with them and yourselves also. My the Lord comfort you, your families, and all those whom their lives have touched so tenderly. Walter Johnson

Dear Diane and Family,

Glenn gave my mother, who is now passed on as well, a chance in this world. She worked for him for many years until he sold the practice. She managed his office, and the two of them would at times but heads. But in the end, his practice grew through leaps and bounds.
She was very loyal to him, and he to her and his employees. I was always thankful for what he did for my family. May you find peace knowing that he touched others, and was a great man.
God Bless......

Glenn Stratton was a dental school classmate of mine at the University of Minnesota from 1963 through to graduation in 1967. Just knowing and realizing what we all went through as students 40-plus years ago unites our class of 1967. My heart goes out to his family and friends.

I was shocked to hear the Dr. Glenn is gone.
I was his very first 1st assistant. I worked for him through on the job training while I attended Sibley High. Iactually worked for him at two different times. I will have a speacial place in my heart for him. He taught me so much. He also took pictures at my wedding but later learned he did not have film in his camera. He also paid for our honeymoon at Lutson lodge. He has touched the lives of a lot people. I am sure he will be missed. My husband #2 Jim has a lot of Glenn,s gold work. I remember him sitting in his lab at the Smith Avenue office working on his gold castings. I also lost my first husband Richard in May of 2004, But married my best friend in 2006. My payers are with the family. Love and hugs.
