See Condolences

To Glenn's family, my sincere condolences. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. I played baseball with Glenn at Glendale High School, on a team that won the state championship in 1976. Glenn was a heck of a ballplayer. We called him "Scoop", because nothing ever got by him at the "hot corner". It is so perfect that Glenn was holding the state championship trophy in the picture taken right after the championship game. He was the heart and soul of our team. But, more importantly, Glenn was a great human being. He cared for people and was a lot of fun to be around. And his smile was contagious. May he rest in peace. See you soon my brother.

I was a friend of Glenn and we went to school together. He was a big part of our group of guys (76ers) and we had many fun times at school and playing tennis and softball together. I just wanted to reach out and say how sorry I am to hear about his passing. I loved Glenn as a friend and I was able to see him a few years back when I came to Springfield. I have fond memories of all the good times we shared together. I am so very saddened by this news . My heart and prayers go out to the family. Glenn was such a kind gentleman and a good man. Again my condolences and I'm sorry for your great loss.

Lindsey and Kaley, we had a lot of laughs and a lot of fun anytime we were around your dad. Really good memories !! Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. Love, Philip and Susan Elmore

Glenn: “Lindsey will never move to Texas.” Me: “Ok Glenn, we won’t take your daughter.” LOL, like we ever could! Going to miss you, enjoy heaven. Till we meet again.

He will be missed.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

We are so sorry to hear about your dad's passing. May happy memories of your father bring comfort at this sad time. Sending hugs and prayers to you all!

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
