    I met Glenn a couple of years ago when he began picking up my medical waste in Hamilton MS. Quickly became evident he was my brother in Christ. What an assurance knowing he is praising and celebrating in his glorified body. Family I have never met you but feel as if I know you as he spoke often of you and especially you Ann he loved you dearly and was always concerned for your health and well-being. As you grieve I know Father will hold you close and comfort as only he can.

    A Chistian gentleman to be sure. My wife Ann and I first met Glenn in 1995 at a company function. He was so kind. We were so blessed to know him.

    I have only known Mr. Glenn since Feb. He was always pleasant to talk with. I'm sorry to hear of you lost. My prayers are with you and your family during this time of grief. May God wrap his loving arms around you all and give you peace that passes all understanding.

    Mr. Glenn will be truly missed, his awesome smile and Christian words of encouragement brighten my days and lighten my burdens every time we met. Our most recent encounter we both felt the spirit of the Lord so strongly, as we praised our Heavenly Father for another day tears run down our faces. We both was so full we were unable to speak for a moment. Finally, after pausing a few minutes my last spoken words to him, I prayed that the Lord would give him traveling Grace and Mercy to and from that he may return home safely to his family. He had a caring heart for everyone, a spiritual man of God and now he got his crown. Condolences to his family with love from the Marshall and Lafayette County Health Department Staff.

    I know that Glenn will be missed by everyone who knew him. He was a very good friend, a loving christian and a pleasure to be around. After we left Brookhaven, Glenn would update us of things going on in the area and church which was greatly appreciated. I will truly miss him but know he is in the best place we could ever want to be. Our prayers are with the family in this difficult time.

    Glenn is one person I shall never forget. Working with him at FedEx Freight was truly an honor for me. He loved to talk about Ann and the boys. He always asked me how Brittany was. He checked on her this summer when she had gone through her breast cancer and recovery. I know he will be missed by all who knew him as if you knew him, you loved him. He just had a way with his charm to make you like him. Continued prayers for everyone.

    I met this precious man at Leflore County Health Department in Greenwood,Ms. What a blessing to know him! He would always text me to check on my family and leave wonderful words of encouragement. I know he loved witnessing and he did it well. Many prayers for his family-I know there will be a huge void. I'm reminded again at how fragile life is.

    I always looked forward to seeing Mr. Glen. What an encouragement he was to me and many others! Mr. Glenn's desire was for others to see Christ in him, and I have no doubt when the Lord called Mr. Glen home He said, Well done thou good and faithful servant (Matthew 25:21).Praying for the family and his friends!

    I have confidence we will meet again but in the meantime we will miss our wonderful neighbor. I don’t think I ever saw Glenn without a smile on his face and when he smiled his whole face smiled. Simply remembering him and our fun chats in the street makes me smile. Our thoughts and prayers are with Ann and his family.

    I loved getting to know Mr Glenn. Such a sweet man. I don't ever think I saw him without a big smile on his face even when in pain at therapy. He was still smiling and picking on me. My thoughts and prayers are with you Ms Ann and your family.

    Our day was always a little brighter when Mr. Glenn came by. He usually stopped by every office to check on us and our families as well as to tell us about his. He was such an encouragement to all of us at the Calhoun County Health Department and other stops along his way in the Northern Region. He will be missed here, but I know so much more by you his family that he loved to tell about. Praying for comfort for all of you.

    Mr. Glenn was a pleasure to be around. A person you could just tell by your first conversation with him that he was a Christian man that loved his Lord, his wife, his family and others. I can only hope to have a little bit of a testimony like he had and leaves behind. He was a joy and a blessing to know. He always asked about my daughter and grandson by name. We will miss him a lot at Pontotoc County Health Department .We will remember his family in our prayers!
