Family, friends and neighbors will remember Glenn for his love of golf, football and race horses. He started to caddy as a teen and played golf until his 80's. He even is on record as getting a hole in one at Raymond Memorial. In addition to golf, Glenn played football from the time he was eight until he was 25. He loved watching football too (OSU of course). At age 21, Glenn and his dad bought a race horse which began a 40 year career as a race horse trainer and jockey's agent at Beulah Park and many of the Ohio tracks. During his career Glenn mentored Dr. Robert Copelan, who after graduating from Ohio State University became a distinguished veterinarian and joint surgeon for many famous race horses.
