Glenda--So Sorry you lost your dad--we always enjoyed visiting with him when we delivered Meals on Wheels. Jim and Linda Grove
I have fond childhood memories of Glen from 3rd Street so many years ago. Glen has also been with Meals on Wheels since before I began working there. I will miss his phone calls when the volunteers where running a little late and always enjoyed our home visits. Glen will be missed.
So sorry for your loss.
My Deepest of Sympathy Glenda and the rest of the family. Glen was a one of a kind person. He had plenty of jokes and stories to tell. He left plenty of memories behind and once again back with his Ruthie. RIP Glen
Dear Glenda.....I am very sorry to hear of the passing of your father today. Thinking of you during this difficult time. Kristy (Woomer) Kramer

I have fond memories of Glen, when I was in grade school, on a visit to his home, he showed, and let me listen to a short wave radio that he had built. I was impressed, and got motivated to study and learn more about electronics and engineering in general, I later built radios and other things too.... Its amazing how one good hearted person can affect another, with just a few minutes of kindness. He put a spark in my life.
