Uncle Glen was such a good man. One of my best memories is going to his house as a kid and playing the jukebox in his living room. We also shared an interest in playing the organ/keyboard. He taught me to play "Somewhere My Love", the theme from Dr. Zhivago. I still have the book he gave me with the music in it. Praying that Mary Jo, Aunt Nettie, Paul, Mike and the rest of the family find some comfort and peace during such a difficult time. Love you all!
