Rick & I considered Glen, AKA Carterpup, a very dear friend. We will especially miss him at Friday night dinners at the VFW and Sunday morning breakfasts at Jethros. Glen loved his family and his country. I know my life won't be the same without him in it. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to his family.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Let it be known that Glenn was one of the most thoughtful, kind, generous, GENUINE human beings that I have had the pleasure to meet in over 50 years of life. A true friend will be missed.
