I cannot say enough about Glenn! Who wonderful he was to me and others!!
The first time I fell in love with him was when he gently lifted me down off a "hayrack ride" we had.
It may have been Walter Adams. I can't remember.
But when Glenn lifted me down off the platform, I felt my heart jump!! We had several dates afterwards.
Time went by, I left for Tulsa after two years of college. After I had traumatic brain ingury in 2018, I called Glenn to "rekindle our relationship."
He is the BEST TEACHER, BEST I.T. TECHNITION, SMART AT EVERYTHING AND HUMBLING HIMSELF TO HELP ANYONE WHO NEEDS HIM. TRAVELING TO OTHER STATES; WHICH HE DID WITH ME IN mICHIGAN AT THE TIME.
HE'S THE BEST FRIEND ANYONE COULD HAVE. HE GAVE FREELY OF HIS TALENTS AND KINDNESS TO ALL OUR STILLWATER FRIENDS AND HIS FAMILY.
GOD BLESS HIS SOUL.
I 'M ANXIOUS WE HAVE HOPE WE EILL ALL SEE HIM AGAIN THROUGH JESUSCRIST OUR LORD AND SAV IOR. GLENN HAS ALREADY SEEN JESUS' FACE!!!! OH, WHAT A WONDERFUL SIGHT.
YES, I LOVED GLENN, WE STAYED FRIENDS WHEN I CAME BACK TO TULSA . BROUGHT ME EVERY MONTH TO THE MONTHLY MEETINS.
I CAN JUST IMAGINE WHAT HIS LIFE WAS LIKE WHEN HE WENT TO VIETNAM AS A HELECOPTER PILOT. HOW THAT MUST HAVE BEEN ENGRAINED IN HIS MIND ALL THESE YEARS
GOD LOVES HIM, I LOVE HIM, YOU LOVE HIM.........WHO COULD "NOT" LOVE SUCH A MAN. ALL THE QUALITIES GOD WANTS ALL OF TO HAVE.
GOD BLESS ALL OUR HIGHSCHOOL FAMILY. WE ALL SHOULD BE PROUD WE GREW UP IN OUR ERA. THE CHILDREN NOWADAYS, DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY'VE MISSED. I LOVED OUR YOUNGER DAYS IN HIGHSCHOOL!!!! LOVE ALWAYS TO GLENN AND EACH OF YOU.
