Uncle Glen will be Greatly missed. He had a heart of gold. Family meant every thing to him, He would always find time to visit with Dad, usually on Sundays. Uncle Glen left behind such great memories for myself and I'm sure for all who new him. I love you Uncle Glen may you Rest in Peace.

There are so many things I remember about Uncle Glen. He was my Hero! He would always grab and start tickling my knee asking me if I had a bone in it. When I would clean his kitchen he would always give all the change he had in his pocket. He would always take me to the store and buy me a pack of freshen up gum.(the green pack) I will forever miss him.

The thing I remember most of Uncle Glen was his ability with a come back. As a kid he would visit, or we would visit him and he always had this way about him that made you like him. He always treated everyone with respect, no matter their age. He was my teacher in the art of being a smartenlic, he was an all around great guy towards me and I'm gonna miss him dearly.

When Uncle Glen bought his white Cadillac and it had a lock number pad on the driver side door, he asked me to go get his cigarettes out of the car. Well the door was locked..so he told me to push "double lock, double lock, nothing. I had no clue what numbers those would be, but it kept me busy for a while trying to figure it out ♡.
