I can only imagine the joyous reunion he's having now and the true happiness he's feeling as he holds his loved ones who made the journey before he did in his arms once again. The comfort he leaves with us is the knowledge that we will see him again! Sincere condolences to Glenn's family and others that loved him while he walked among us. Michal and Tom Hakonson
Thanks for sharing your father with me during my transition to Wisconsin. I will miss him dearly.
He was always saying don't forget I gotta have lots of cream for my coffee. He loved lots of Bananas. I am so very sorry for your loss.
Oh he loved to drive and be on the mower. His Bee's and we always had to say a prayer before we ate dinner. He was looking forward to Oklahoma this winter and had chatted about buying an RV. He wanted a puppy so we shared ours with visits to the farm. He even kidded around about that young guy hitting him on the corner. How can you miss this big Van. All summer I would either stop at Arby's for sliders or his favorite Mc Donald's.
Just having fun around Antigo with Glen this last year. He always loved to share stories about the farm and his kids. Missed his wife dearly. Here he is kidding around before our normal trips to Dixie Diner, Two Angels, or the most visited Antigo Mc Donals
