  • Personal Life & Family

    July 15, 2021 My heart was saddened when I heard of uncle Glenn’s passing. So many memories from staying at the house as a child. To the great gardens that ended in a feast and days, I could never forget. Together they made a home, that throughout my entire life I could go to and feel welcomed and loved. He was a quiet man and a kind man. And I will miss and think of him often. All My Prayers are with Aunt Urbana, Glenn and Susan, and Doug & Beth I Love You All. Sincerely, Douglas Marzean I will remember Glenn as a wonderful and compassionate Lodge Brother. A gentle yet strong man. May God richly Bless and provide Devine Comfort to Glenn’s Family. Chuck Simmons Dear Urbana and family, So sorry to hear of Glenn’s passing. Urbana, your house was the last house my parents visited with family/friends. I drove them there, after an appointment at Dr. Black Dental. We spent a nice afternoon reminiscing. One of their favorite times was playing cards with you and Glenn. We will also never forget the pig roasts. Glenn was a good man and he will be missed. All of you are in my prayers. Sincerely, Sam Field
