Glen graduated from Charles Bender High School in Humble and attended South Texas Jr College in Houston. He was an entrepreneur at an early age starting businesses such as off shore gas measurement, welding shop, boat sales and service, residential construction, and residential investment company. He was a member of Carousel Dance Club, Goodtime Polka and Waltz Club, Starlite Dance Club, Bluebonnet Miata Club, past President of South Texas Boat Dealers Association, Save our Seas (today known as Coastal Conservation Association), and National Rifle Association. Recently, his biggest enjoyments were traveling the states in their Miata, dancing with his wife, and spending time with his grandchildren. Glen was an avid outdoorsman, successful businessman who conducted business on a handshake, loyal friend and inspiration to many, and most importantly a loving husband and family man. He was our Superman. We would like to acknowledge the wonderful care he received at Christus Santa Rosa Hospital in New Braunfels.
