"THE HOSE KNOWS" Glenn, I thank God every night that you got to come down here so shortly before your passing.  You know that was for a specific reason.  We got alot talked out and you can't worry if not is all what you wanted.  What is IS.  I am sorry people who loved you did not get the chance for closure........Hope is especially grieved.  I assured her of your love.  Sandy got it right when she said "DATS RIGHT".......forgot "EXCELLANT" though LOL I love you Glenn and will miss you terribly the good and the bad!!!  You were more then a bro to me....I guess u know that, I listened to you I only wish you would have listened to me, Dale, Michelle, etc. etc. I am sure you are in a much better place then we are.  Demi, Susan, Chris, we are so sorry for your loss, words can not state.  Which is the reason for this late responce, we are sorry.  Dale loved Hose like a brother and all of you!  We have had alot of tearful nights and laughing nights remembering stories with the help of Big Sandy one story was great :  God Bless you Glenn as I have prayed he would for the last months.  You were a very strong man and I think your Dad would be proud and waiting for you.............we LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Kat & Dale

Im Glenn's best friend Dale's little sister Tissy I wish we could have a memorial contribution started in his name at the Cleveland Veterans Hosptal for Cancer where he got alot of his treatment.It would honor him so much I know.Folks and Glenn's family just think about it my number is in the phone book.He was a Veteran of Vietnam War.Theres just no closure!

What can I say but Glenn was like my eccentric uncle. He was my eccentric god-father. I miss Elwood. He was a big kid at heart and even though he was at times alittle over-the-top...he was my freind/uncle. Uncle Elwood...I am going to miss you.I hope to see you in heaven someday and play another game of chess with ya!!! Love from, Laurie aka. the penguin or lorenzoe

He'll always be part of my heart,I'll truly miss Glenn.I'll always remember the good times and we shared alot of them! May you rest in peace my dear friend...I love you...I KNOW DAT'S RIGHT! Big Sandy

With Deepest Sympathy to Glenn's Family.  I haven't seen Glenn since he was a small child and often wondered about him as we moved to Florida 50 years ago.

Glenn was a good hearted guy and let nothing get him down.I will miss his sily jokes and emails and his phone calls and the bike ride we never took that he got a bike fixed it up and was too tired to ride it just to go biking with me.Im his best friend Dale's little sister. His spirit will live on in all of hearts forever!! Just as I was going to take him to church he sneaks out and goes to the main gospel area...He had a way of getting out of those things!Now he is at peace and dont have to put on a front that he is feeling better than he really was. Im glad he is not suffering any longer and he is at peace..God Bless him on his journey home...!

I MET GLEN BACK IN 99 THROUGH MY WIFE AND HAS BEEN A GOOD FRIEND SINCE. HE WAS ONE OF A KIND IN WHICH NO ONE WILL EVER BEABLE TO REPLACE. GLEN WILL BE SADLY MISSED. MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY GOES OUT TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

My heart goes out to the family of Glynn, I know he will be missed by family and friends, I for one will surly miss him, and his happy go lucky way. He could always put a smile on my face with his wise cracks, I will surly miss him, and never forget him. He will always be  my friend. God Bless the family my prayers are with you all.
