Glenn was loved by whoever he knew or came in contact with. He was tall in structure but a gentle giant. He enjoyed the simple things in life like spending time with his beloved pets Sammie, Stevie and Shawnie who always put a smile on his face. Glenn endured more than anyone should ever have to the past three years but he faced it with bravery and courage in this most difficult time in his life. He was well respected in the community and well liked. He had the finest reputation as a police officer and wore his uniform proudly for all those years. He will be sadly missed by all and forever in our hearts.
