Glenn was a wonderful man, that touched so many lives over the years that he may have not realized the impact he made on many. He was a staple in church for everyone, they knew he would be there, and they knew they could depend upon him. He always made you feel happy after you talked to him. I am so sorry for your loss, and words cannot express the loss you may be feeling, but just know that our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time.
