I was best friends with Shirley, Glen’s wife, for over 40 years so knew Glen quite well.  He was a sweet man and was always kind and friendly when I would visit.  After Shirley’s death, I’d continue to fly up from San Diego  to visit, when I could and enjoyed helping with little Khloe.   Glen and I often talked on the phone and he’d send photos of Khloe.  He truly loved that little girl.  He was a good man and he will be missed be us all.  God Bless you Glen.   Christie

Ethan commented that he had not heard from Chloe in a while, and shortly after, we discovered the sad news. We cherish the recollections of going to the zoo together, talking by the pool during those hot summer Fresno/Clovis days, and hearing the kids performing concerts in the living room. Thank you for the memories, Glen. We will miss you and hope to hear from Chloe again and will always remember you fondly. Godspeed.  The Skrickas

Simple likeable kind humble down to earth man. So glad to know him and have the opportunity to be his secretary from time to time. A person who will always have my respect. 
Rest In Peace.

Dear Glen, as you know you were my favorite Director. You taught me so many life lessons. I admire your style and wit.  Until we meet again my friend. ❤️ Shelly

Glen was one of my former bosses at FSC, many years ago, in the '70's! I learned so much from him and we became good friends as well. I send my deepest sympathy to his family and hope each tomorrow will get better and brighter for you all. RIP Glen, my friend! God Bless.

Mike & Jennie Hunsaker,
Glen, it was always nice working for you & with you. May you Rest In Peace. To your family may you find comfort that Glen lived a full & happy life.

Sending our prayers and condolences from The Gottfried's. May all the wonderful memories you have keep him close in your hearts and help comfort you during this difficult time. 

Glen was a pleasure to work with.  Always smiling, happy, jovial and fun loving.  My biggest memory is him always locking up his computer system and the constant joking of tattooing his passwords on his hands.  
May you Rest In Peace Glen. 

Our deepest condolences to Mike, Cindy and the rest of the Coles family.  May you feel comfort knowing that your dad/Glen is at Peace.  With sympathy, 
Mike & Kim Ayala

We extend our deepest condolences to Glen’s family.  May fond memories guide you in your grief.

I met Glen about 20 years ago when I taught a leadership class at Fresno where he was the Director. Whatever we needed, he was there to help with. I crossed paths many times with him over the years after that as a co-worker and friend, and he was always the same. How could he help? And we all came to know Khloe through him! My condolences to all his family. 


Glen was a caring and compassionate man that did not let his job title dicate how he treated others. He will be missed. My prayers and sympathy go out to his family.

I was deeply saddened by the news about the death of Glenn. 
Glenn was such a kind soul, who will be greatly missed by all who knew him. He was our neighbor for 27 year who quickly became a dear friend and such a good guy. 

To the family and his pride and joy (Khole). 
Please accept our deepest sympathies. Our prayers are with you during this difficult time. Love the Lincoln family❤️

Anyone who had the honor of working with Glen can fondly remember him saying this,  “Take care of yourself first, then your family. Work will always be there when all of the important aspects of your life are taken care of.” Glen treated us like family and he will be dearly missed. Thank you for all the fond memories and words of wisdom Glen.

Glen was an amazing leader and I loved learning from him. His passion for people and for service drove him to mentor me and many others. He will be missed.

Glen, a man that was kind compassionate, and loved by the many  lives he touched.  I truly enjoyed working with him. I was blessed to know him. Condolences to his entire family & friends. Truly a great man will be missed.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends. Glen will be missed by all. He was very kind. Always loved when he had meetings he was always to the point but always had us laughing as well.

I worked with Glen for about 20 years. He was the best director ever! He always mingled with people and truly listened. He always was involved with training. I’ll always remember the stories he told of his dogs, grandchild and family. He will be missed. RIP Glen.
