It was with such sadness that I learned of Glen's passing. I had the privilege of meeting him at St Andrews, unfortunately only three times, but he made such a strong impression of dignity, and it was immediately apparent that he had a loving, caring family, whom I wish all the strength now in their grief.

To Jerry and Family, Cliff, Jody and Gil

So very sorry to hear of your loss, you were like an adoptive family to me back in the day, and you left me with many memories and life experiences I still treasuer. It was a privilege to know Glen and I will always remember that mischievous laugh. Sending God's love for you at this time of grief and hoping your day's are getting easier. Sincerely, Nancy Vassar

I met Glen and Geraldine at my restaurant in Woodland, Wa.. He used to say that it only took twenty minutes or so to drive there for breakfast but, I could never understand how he got there so quickly since we both lived in Portland.
He was a delightful man that loved to engage others and draw them into his world. He will be missed.

Glenwood and I went through school together in Dayton and had wonderful times I remember them all. He was a good pal. We're the same age. I guess I am next. - John Munroe
