Condolences
The family of Glen “Gunner” E. Engle has received the following condolences.
My Sympathy to the family of Glen Engle, I had planned on attending Glen's funeral, but didn't want to tackle the traffic in Rochester, but my thoughts and prayers are with you all. I didn't know his nick name was Gunner, since your folks passed away I haven't gotgether with your family, Donna said she sees you girls. I suppose when Glen was getting treatment, most of my family remember the house on the hill in Preston. I remarried in 1994 and he passed away in 2003, so am in Rose Creek, if close stop in. I have 19 grand children, 9 Great and 2 more on the way, my youngest lost her husband 2 years ago she was the same age as I was when Don passed and that is 37 years ago, I am thinking of you all today and many Blessings to you.
Love, Marian and family

Glen will be greatly missed by all of us. We enjoyed seeing him out on his deck and the conversations we had with him. He always had a smile on his face and that is how we will remember him. I know that he has no pain or cancer where he is now. Yes - he will be missed by all of you, his family - but he will be looking down and watching all of you the rest of your lives. Our deepest sympathy to all of you and please know our prayers are with all of you. If there is anything we can do, please let us know. Joanne, Craig & Alex Schultz
