One of his favorite things to do was to spend time with his family at their lake home in Paynesville, which they enjoyed for many years.
Glenn loved life. He loved to spend quality time with his wife, children, grandchildren, and his family. He was a fighter to the end, a guy that will be greatly missed by his family, friends, and all who knew him. One never knows God's intended path for life and when he will take our hand in life and take us home. Glenn lived every day with a smile on his face and a positive attitude that closely touched his family and friends. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
