Through the years he was employed by Pella Windows, Carpenter Technology and Manafort Brothers.

Glenn was a friend of Bill, celebrating 10 years of sobriety and dedicated service to others in need through the organization which he loved and was so dedicated and devoted to, serving on District 7 and Area 11 service committees and performing service work in hospitals and institutions to help others.

Glenn is survived by his daughter Jennifer, sister Pamela (Christopher) of Bolton, brothers Gary (Theresa) of Kannapolis NC, Jeffrey (Carla) of West Palm Beach FL, Michael of Vero Beach, FL., several nieces and nephews and his former wife Donna.  In his final weeks, he received loving care from special friends: Ruth, Rob and Jim, as well as his sister Pamela.
