Glenn was one of the nicest men there ever was! He was a greeter at our church and was always smiling when he opened the door for us. A great Christian man. He will truly be missed! So sorry for your loss. Our hearts and prayers are with the family. Bob and Benita Nordhoff.
What a wonderful guy this is and how much he will be missed. He never met a stranger and always had a greeting for everyone. He always wanted to make people smile and that he did with his French or a joke he strived to make you smile. We will miss him, condolences to the family and friends that will miss him. Terri Hughes
The first time I saw Glenn was at Lilly in the Mass Spectrometer room where he worked. This machine was a favorite with people touring our facility and Glenn always made the groups feel at ease with his smile and genuine interest in sharing his knowledge.
I will miss this Brother- in Christ and good friend . A great example and a man of great integrity. I will miss his smile, firm handshake and a greeting “Welcome to Gods’ house” every time I walked in the door of our church. Glenn was also a ministry partner in my work in Ecuador. He always prayed for me and wished he was able go with me and supported me greatly. Early Friday morning Jesus said to Glenn : Welcome to my house”. Glenn will always travel with me , in my heart, on every mission trip in my future. I’ll see you again on “Home Plate” Hermano Glenn! danny

Although he has not wintered in Fl for several years, he is still greatly loved and missed by those of us privileged to know and worship with him. My prayers are with his family. And Gretchen, I’m guessing that your dad and my dad are now singing bass together in the heavenly choir!
