He was preceded in death by his parents, five brothers, Gerald, Don, Ray, Howard and Bob McGartland; and a sister, Mary Ellen Martin.

Mcgartland family,
I worked with Glenn for several years at the Moorman research farms. He was a good man and hard worker. We liked him so much we hired him back to cut the grass. He took great pride in taking care of the equipment an always did a great job. I will always remember him has someone I wanted to be like. I last talked to him when he was in ICU at Blessing a few years ago. My condolences
