He will be missed dearly. I will always cherish the months I had the pleasure to be there for him while I was his caretaker, I beat him most of the time when we played Farkle, we had a lot of fun together. he Loved that game and he always said I cheated. He was so much like a brother to me. I Loved him dearly and I do all of you. Much Love and my Condolences , Rest in Peace my dear Glen.

To the family of Mr. Cockrum, you have my sympathy during this time of loss. What a nice obituary, sounds like he was a wonderful man. I feel we are related, as my great great Aunt was Berthie and my granny was Dellie Studdard Kasinger. You are in my thoughts.

Gwen and family sending my thoughts and prayers. Glen left his mark on earth, he never met a stranger and I thought a lot of him. He gave it all and fought his sickness until he couldn’t fight no more. At least he isn’t in pain anymore any more and at peace. Him and Bruce are up there together laughing and enjoying being together again… love you Gwen and feel the love from him. Twins always has a connection.
