My condolences to all who knew Glen and his family. He was a special person in my family's lives. He was a long time friend of my mother (Pam) and was always there for her. He was there for my brother offering him a much needed job opportunity at a time when he needed support turning his life around. He even gave me a job when I needed extra cash. He got a kick out of having a girl up on that asphalt roller. Glen was always spontaneous and up for anything. He could run circles around anyone younger than he. I'll forever be grateful for your friendship and being a part of our lives. It breaks my heart that I can't be there to say goodbye but you will live in my heart and memory forever. I'll think of you often and remember our time together. I love you Glen. RIP my friend. xoxo
