I "knew" you as Foxfire on Websleuths.com. While we never met in person or talked personally online, I wanted to let your loved ones know how much your expertise and thoughtful posts mean to those who tirelessly work to bring home the missing. To some, it may seem a silly hobby, but to countless others, it means hope. Peace and love to you, Foxfire. Prayers to all who love you.

Ohh this sadens me deeply, Hoy Glenn was my Capt at Co 9 for several yrs. He was truly a dedicated man and always made certain his men were always well taken care of all the time. I have so many fond memories of our times together in the firehouse. He loved to laugh and he laughed really hard so hard he would have to sit down and would get tears from laughing so hard. My you rest in peace my brother And God Speed to his dear family.
