He immigrated to the United States from Canada on September 6, 1926, crossing the border at Vanceboro, Maine, and settling in the Manhattan borough of New York City where he worked as an electrical engineer. By 1931, he had moved to California and was recording sound for movies in Hollywood. He married in Los Angeles and had four children. While visiting his mother in Chipman and Minto, New Brunswick during the summer of 1960, he and his wife died in a car accident. On August 25, 1960, Glen and his wife Mary Helen were laid to rest together in unmarked graves overlooking the ocean at Green Hills Memorial Park, Rancho Palos Verdes, California.
