I'm sorry to hear of the passing of Glenn. He was truly a good guy. I will remember him for his sense of humor , laid-back approach to life, camping with
our families when I was a kid, his ability to make things, and his love for family. May you find peace and comfort in sharing the many good memories he has left for you.
