Together the couple lived in Fairmont where Glenn joined the family business and became part-owner of Borchardt Insurance Agency in Fairmont. He was also actively involved in the operation of Borchardt Dance Company with his wife Kathy and later his daughter Nita.
Glenn was a very modest and humble man. He had three great loves; Faith, Family and Country. He cared about living his life as an honorable man. Glenn was a family man, always supporting the endeavors of his wife and children and cherished time spent with his eight grandchildren. Glenn loved all things nature and was an outdoorsman. In his free time, he especially loved being out on the lake fishing and was often asked for advice on when and where the fish were biting.
