We hope that your memories of Glenn will give you comfort at this sad time. Your Cousins, Marjorie & Al Thomas Linda Ahlberg lahlberg@cableone.net I have been acquainted with Glenn for the past 12 years or so. My husband and I met him at the North Hi-way Cafe to eat on occasion and always enjoyed his company. One winter he helped us get air in a tire that was too flat to drive on, this was about 9 at night, when our options were very limited. My husband would talk to him about fixes to equipment and such, because Glenn knew a lot about such things. His opinion was highly valued. When he talked about his children he was very tender hearted and cried easily. I always felt like he accepted me the way I was and liked me anyway. I'll miss him. Linda (Hodges) Ahlberg Steve Webster 1tcb@walla.com Glen was a good man and a very hard worker. I knew Glenn for many years and worked with him at Holst Truck Parts during his time there. He was a good machanic. And he had lots of friends. I havent seen Glenn in many years and was sad to see that he had passed.
