WOW, I am so very sorry to the family Joyce, Mark, Rodney, Robin,all of the grandkids, and great grandkids. So many ball games (football, kickball, and baseball) in your yard as kids and everyone was welcome. Coached so many of us and helped us become the men we are today and clear up to standing on the sidelines at Pleasant High School watching football games together. A Coach, a friend, a husband, a father, a grandfather, brother, cousin however Glenn touched your life I'm sure it was a pleasant interaction. Rest in Peace Glenn you will be missed by many.

Glenn was a good man. He was also a good athlete in high school. I remember when he and Joyce were dating in high school. My sympathies are with the family.
