Fun stories, both true and truth-adjacent, have been shared throughout the years. He also loved a good college football game - if it was OU and they won. Friends and family was the most important thing to Glenn. He loved his children and his grandchildren, and enjoyed spending as much time with them as he could. He was happiest when he and Stacey were finally able to move to the Oklahoma City metro area in March 2019, where they were closer to all the children and grandchildren.
