Sue, I did not find out about Mr. Glenn's passing until last night. I often think about him sitting with my daddy at SECU Hospice in his last days. Mr. Glenn was my daddy's best friend and I knew how it hurt him when daddy passed. They both loved the military and International tractors. I will miss his hugs. My love and sympathy to you and Chad.

Glenn was a great man who I was privileged to call my friend. We were on vacation so unable to attend his service, but I will see "my neighbor " again one day! Sue and Chad, you'll be in my prayers.

So sorry to hear of Glen's
passing. I always enjoyed spending time with him on job sites during my travels with the gas company. I will always remember his kindness and generosity. Many times during lunch if he spotted a military person or police or fireman he would insist on picking up their check for lunch. He made an everlasting impression and I'll always rember him fondly.

Sue and Chad, words seem inadequate in expressing our heartfelt sympathy in your loss of Glenn. He certainly fought the good fight and he is finally pain free!!.We love you both! Levon and Glenda
