Glenn was a straight up good man. You didn’t have to worry about what he was thinking,
he would tell you. His life work is scattered all over this great nation. His fingerprints are not hard to find. He engineered the building that we are in today. it was always good to visit with Glenn. He will be missed greatly. Our heart, thoughts, and prayers are with his family. May God bless you all.

Barbara - To you and all of your family: I’m genuinely saddened to hear of
Glenn’s passing. He and I have been close friends for forty years. What started
as a professional relationship quickly grew into a personal friendship I will always
cherish and remember. A true man of God who never compromised his convictions.
May God give all of you that “Peace that passes all understanding†now and in the
future.

Phillip and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Glen did paperwork and drawings for our house when we got ready to build many years ago. You were in my class in 5th grade and sent me to your dad for help in the drawings. We have always admired your family. May God bless you and your family during this time.
