Glenn was respected and loved for not only his outstanding photography but also his passion for life that was reflected so well in his work. He captured the beauty he saw in the people, places and things he experienced in his journey. His legacy will go on in the remembrances of those who knew him and the positive difference he made in their lives. My heart is with you always and I love you more than words can ever say. I'm so proud of you and feel truly blessed to be your Mom.

You brought such joy into the world and I was proud to call you my son. Your kindness, happy disposition, willingness to help others and knowing how much you loved and cared about me has left a lasting imprint on my heart ... and for that I am truly blessed. You touched so many lives in such a positive way and the world is a better place for having known you. When I look into the sky and am in awe of the beauty of nature around me, you will be there. God needed a skilled and dedicated photographer so now you are taking aerial shots for Him. You're loved more than words can say and want you to Keep On Keeping On.

As a writer, all I do is work with words. But today as we say goodbye to you, Glenn, I have no words at all ... only tears. Rest in peace, my friend. I love you.

Glenn and I first met back in the beginning of 2001 when he came into where I worked to get his film developed. (Yes, I'm that Amber from the Smiths photo lab that some of you have heard about.) Shortly after I had became Glenn's official photo developing girl lol. In the beginning, before he learned my schedule, a couple times he had come in when I wasn't there but sure enough, when I did come in next, there on the counter, with my name on it, would be film from him that he only wanted me to develop. That sure did always put a smile on my face.

One day when Glenn came in to develop his film, also not to long after we met, I remember this vividly too, he looked me In the face and asked me if I had ever done any modeling. I paused, looked at him in the face and literally turned away to look behind me as if he was asking someone else. And of course I'm the only one working at the time. So when I turned back around I probably had the dumbest look on my face but he was still looking at me and at this point was slightly giggling which made me giggle too. So with the shocked look on my face I finally answer no also adding things like, really? Me? Are you joking? Wow! Probably still looking ridiculously confused. Well he was dead serious and went on to tell me a little about his work and asked if I would be interested in doing a shoot with him. Now a quick little bit about me.... I grew up a shy little reserved Mormon girl who hadn't had a whole lot of life experiences and had just graduated high school in 2000 and got married at the end of 2000 so I was really shy about the whole thing but Glenn was determined that's for sure. I swear he asked me a few times over possibly a couple months before I finally gave in. Our very first shoot was at Baskin Park. I'll never forget that day, or any day with him at that. He was always so professional and polite. He would compliment me when I needed it, like when I was feeling l might not look good in something or doing a pose. Pretty quick after a few pictures I started to feel more relaxed and comfortable. He always knew what to say. He was always so positive and supportive.

I may have not been the greatest friend over the years, being young and dumb and selfish on many occasions, but he never let that stop him from staying in touch or at least trying to stay in touch with me. Thank god I finally started to wake up a little the past couple years and make plans with him. I was able to grab lunch with Glenn a couple time and even do our last shoot together before Christmas 2016. See, the last shoot we did before that was when I was pregnant with my son who is now 12 so I'm so greatful that I got the opportunity to do one last shoot with him and grab lunch a couple times, but also sad that I wasn't a better friend but I can hear him now " oh Fluffy, (nickname he gave me) your still my favorite flaky friend with that awesome eye make up you do.") hahaha. boy did he love my eye make up tho. I still have yet to ever change it too and I'll always wear it and remember you Glenn. All the shoots we did when I was young. The Red Rock shoot was so much fun. I hope to find those big white heals with the star in the heal. I know you wanted me to have them. I will never forget how much we laughed at me trying to wear those heals. And the shoot at the studio... I had never worn a bikini let alone owned one but yet he put me in one and took some awesome pics. Talk about a self esteem boost.

So many memories of our times together. Glenn will always be one of my favorites. I'm so blessed to have met him and even tho it was over such circumstances I'm just as blessed to have met the people I was so kindly accepted by over the last moments we all shared with Glenn. He is loved by so many, know of by so many more and will continue to be known by his amazing talent. He will live on in us and through his work. I love you my friend. Rest in Pairadice until we meet again...

Glenn's passing still seems unreal. I became friend's with Glenn when we met through the Nevada Camera Club. Glenn was a night owl and often times we would chat online while he was taking a break from editing photos. I was fortunate enough to get to go on a shoot with him a few years ago. He asked me to assist him with a huge belly dance festival that was going on at Lake Las Vegas. Photography was clearly his passion and I learned a lot from him. I was so happy when he found love with Jennifer. He seemed truly content in his life. I will miss him and his energetic photos of rock bands.

I wish I could find the right words to express how much I will miss you Glenn. You always pushed me to be a better photographer and a better person and I thank you for that. Hey, save me a spot in the photo pit up there. Until then...

You are watching over all of us when we see that bright star in the sky .we never know what life has in store for us. We will meet again one day , I will be looking for a camera and that spiky hair. Remember you are always in our hearts no matter where we are.

Glenn showed up at my parent's house the day after Thanksgiving to take some family portraits and had to deal with the poor photographing conditions we stuck him in, a puking sick kid, two uncooperative dogs, and me just wanting to get some nice pictures with my family and Boyfriend included (a very big step).

He was patient and fun loving and we were all incredibly happy with the prints...so happy that when we got engaged and were quick to bring him on board as our Wedding photographer. We started with a whirlwind Engagement shoot at the Neon Museum that included a warp-speed wardrobe change followed by a race down the 15 to the Welcome to Las Vegas sign to maintain the "Blue Hour". He found our initials at the museum "C&E" in some old neon letters. I'm not sure I would have ever seen them, but he did. Those photos became Save the Dates, Invitations, a Guest Book, a Seating Chart, and even Wedding favors. He had to deal with a pretty frantic Bride throughout, with only 6 months to pull this Wedding off, but never got flustered and always came through, no matter how late the night.

We got married at the Smith Center and Glenn's artistic mind was going a mile a minute with how many cool and unique shots we could do. The hour between the ceremony and reception was insane...but we did end up with some pretty fantastic photos. In the months that followed, he still had to deal with the frantic Bride who wanted prints and albums for gifts. Being a one man show, handling an event like this is not something many would want to take on, but he became one of the team, so to speak, and despite any inevitable butting of heads, he always wanted to do whatever he could to please. I just looked through our album again and am so grateful for the images he captured.

When we heard of Glenn's passing, we were absolutely shocked and so saddened. It seems such a trivial thingyour Wedding photographerbut he captured the best day of our lives and did it with such joy in his heart. He cared. It wasn't just a job.

Glenn, I feel that we never really let you know how much we appreciate the gift you gave us. We are so sorry for that. Please know that your photos, from that first family shoot, to our Engagement, to our Wedding, and to photos you took on your Alaska adventures are all proudly displayed in our home and in our family's homes. We will always remember you and tell your story when we show off your gift.

Thank you and Godspeed, our Friend.

I am so glad I got a chance to know you. It was many years ago when we were in highschool, but I will always be thankful for our time together. Fly high Glenn and soar with the angels.

"Our world is a better place for knowing him." And knowing him made my world better too: Glenn and I only met a couple of years ago, when he came back to Bloomsburg to visit Gina. A passionate amateur photographer myself, I introduced Glenn to chasing trains, and he took to it like a duck to water, enjoying the thrill of a live steam locomotive and leapfrogging ahead of the train to get as many photos as we could; his childlike enthusiasm brightened every trackside location, and many other photographers will long remember Glenn, even if they only saw him once or twice. Godspeed, Glenn; may you always have green signals and a clear track ahead --
