Anyway…(as Glenn would say) he will always be remembered for his dedicated involvement and generous support of his community, local organizations, and projects including: Farm Bureau, Diamond Lake Township Board, Diamond Lake Cemetery Board, Diamond Lake Church restoration project, the Southwest Minnesota Initiative Foundation, and many more. He was honored for his support by being named citizen of the year in 2009 and serving as Grand Marshal of the yearly parade. He was also honored to be recognized at the 2013 Lake Benton Area Foundation Gala. In 2007, a highlight of Glenn’s life was to be able to organize and fund a trip to Alaska for a group of family and close friends. When he had the opportunity to take time away from the farm, he enjoyed exploring different parts of the country.
Glenn loved to visit with his friends over coffee every morning at the local gas station where they would frequently discuss farming and their plans for the day. He was always willing to help with any task from equipment and farming to displaying the Danish flag at funerals for all of the Danes. Glenn touched many lives with his genuinely kind spirit. He will be greatly missed.
He is survived by his brother, Dale (Karen) Krog of Tracy, MN; niece, Carla (Steve) Thein of Owatonna, MN; great-niece, Madelyn; great-nephew, Mason; and many extended relatives and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents and nephew, Lance Krog.
All memorials will be forwarded by the family to various charities and organizations that were important to Glenn.
