Jan, you have our deepest condolences! Wish we could have all gotten together in recent years like we used to! So glad you and Glenn had some good years together!

I met Glen in 1962 when I began as a salesman for Lester’s. We became good friends. My wife,Lois, and Marjal, would accompany us to sales meetings out of state. Glen and I enjoyed golfing together. We remained in close contact over the years. He was a true friend.

Beth we send our love and lots of hugs…We have Many great and fun memories your dad always had a smile and a joke.  Glenn and Marjal are probably waltzing around heaven and Glenn’s looking to sell another building!   May you rest in peace my friend . Love and prayers to you and your family..  Burt and Denese

Glenn was a really good and fun person in my experience with him. We got to know each other through “the Y” in Rochester and enjoyed many walks, sauna discussions and pancake breakfasts at Brothers for about 20 years. He was “Glenno” to me and others of the Y gang. I am sorry to learn of the passing of this good man and good friend. 

Alas my brother.  Glenn was a great guy.  He will be missed.  May God's peace be with his family. 

I am so sorry for your loss.  
he was a great man and He was a great dancer.  Love him dearly !
