He loved spending time with his children. Whether it was going camping, taking them to the ball games or playing golf as they got older. Glenn could be so generous he would give you the shirt off his back. He had a good wit about him, dry humor, and very strong feelings toward junk food. His favorite snack other than anything chocolate was a hot dog with peanut butter and syrup.Glenn was independent to the end, always protective of his children and grandchildren, and very resilient. When he would sit back and relax by watching sport it was the Texas Rangers, pro-golfer Jack Nicolas or his grandchildren’s teams.
