Glenn, Bll and I was talking today about what a wonderful person you were. We  miss and love you with all our hearts. We thank of the times we were around you. How so very much you knew and things you knew about.  How helpful you and Sherrill were when Bill and I had to stay in a home care facility for awhile.  Thanking you for caring for us. As we cared so much about you. RIP our precious Nephew/Sherrill. 



Stressing over starting a new job quickly melted when I was fortunate to land in Burton Hills with Glenn as my coworker.  His knowledge and his outgoing personality quickly made me feel right at home. In those first few weeks we discovered the oh so many likes and interests we shared. A wonderful friendship that I am so thankful for was born. Glenn's relationship with all the tenants in those buildings spoke louder than words of his kind and helpful ways. Glenn completely understood Christ's commandment to love and care for each other and proved through his actions daily. I'm forever thankful for the years we worked together and the talks and time together after he retired. I am going to miss that big laugh and bigger smile.  Fly high brother until I see you again.
I also lift up prayers for peace and comfort for Sherrill, Chris and Paul along with their familes in the coming days.

Glenn was a friend of my older brother Richard and that pack of rascals. He helped me out on a few occasionals when I thought I was bullet proof and he would prevail with his level headed temperment. Glenn was a stand up kinda guy and anyone would be lucky to have had him as a friend. Gone to soon. God bless him .

I graduated from Franklin High School with Glenn in 1964. He always had a smile and was always willing to lend a hand when and where it was needed.  He was a kind and thoughtful guy.  My thoughts and prayers go out to Glenn and all of his family. I know he will be missed.

Our hearts are sad for Chris, Brooke and Edward. May God bless the family with peace, wonderful memories, patience in explaining death to younger family members, and hope for the future.  Love you much, Uncle David & Aunt Lynne

I graduated from high school and was a close childhood friend of Glenn.  He was a school leader, an accomplished football player, a bright learner and an all-around nice guy.   I am saddened to learn of his death and send my thoughts to his family.  

I’ve had the privilege of being introduced to Glenn in 2011 as a dear friend of mine introduced me to him as a to be fellow co-worker. Now mind you, yes I’m tall but not big. Walking throughout the buildings I was introduced to this Dinosaur with the biggest paws I’ve ever seen. “What the heck did I do wrong?” I thought to my self and am I ever gonna get anything done correctly. He was a mammoth I thought to myself and I kept looking at my friend say “ReallyPaola, Really”. But quickly after the introduction I followed this man with polished shoes and all greeting him as he is a God, I found out later he is.
My time with him grew even stronger and we had the best of times. Glenn was always dressed in a blue maintenance uniform that looked prestinnie and the black shoes like mentioned earlier were always polished. I had no other words to describe him other than calling him “PAPA SMURPH”. He just looked the part.
My friendship grew even stronger with him and he was alway correcting me with those gigantic paws of his on my shoulder saying “Now Mike, I told you this way” and you quickly did it that way .
It was a privilege to work under him and with him .
I was sent to another building and Glenn was always there to help me get through my tough times either on the phone or he would leave his work place to make sure I got through and got it done correctly
I will miss my “Mentor” and he will always be in my life knowing he’s looking down at me making sue my work was fine in the best possible way as if he would.
Thank you Glenn(Papa Smurph), I will miss you
Mike


So very sorry to have received Mike Cox’s phone call Thursday morning to hear of Glenn’s passing.  I’ve known Glenn for 8 years and had the privilege of working with him. Glenn was all about faith, family, and friends and I’m grateful to have him as a friend. Glenn was the epitome of a Southern Gentleman and a genuine, genteel, beautiful soul. I’m gonna miss our conversations, dining, and most of all, our laughter together. Rest In Peace Brother. God bless his family and friends. 

Hearing this news from Mike was heart breaking and shocking.  Glenn was a guy that was an example of "true salt of the earth", when God made him, he broke that mold because 1 Glenn was all he needed to be a solid example of what God wanted him to be.  He was a blessing to me when I worked at Eakin.  So many memories, so many good conversations, I could talk with him for hours.  He taught me so much as well.  He would brag about his family, his beautiful wife.  He is with Father God now, I'm praying for wife and sons.  Paola Olson
