He was a wonderful man. He could make you madder then anything one minute and show so much love the next. Glen always took me in like his own daughter and would’ve done anything for any of my family. He was always doing for people. He will be missed at breakfast on Sunday morning. He is no longer in pain. Fly high Glen love you always
