Glenn was a sweet, most caring and tender hearted man. He was a faithful son and a good brother. He also had a great sense of humor and took whatever life handed him in stride. Even though he had been stricken with polio as a child, spent time in an iron lung, and had to wear leg braces far into adulthood, he didn't let it stop him from many years of employment as an orderly at the local hospital and later working at Harvey's grocery store.
My dear cousin, you will be greatly missed by all who knew you.
