Glen Edward English

Glen was a wonderful man with an adventurous soul. He had a passion for life and worked his absolute hardest to live each day to its fullest. He enjoyed camping, hunting, fishing any opportunity to be outdoors. He found golf enjoyable, even though his score may not have reflected it.

He was a 24 year veteran with Southwest Airlines Co. where he enjoyed working in numerous cities across the country, most recently in Chicago, IL. Glen loved his work and took great pride in his association with the Airline. In his many colleagues, he was able to find a second family.
