  1. Sandy, just wanted to let you know you are in my thoughts and prayers, I have known Glen for many, many, moons and had the pleasure of bull shitting him at Freddie’s when we made turnip kraut or were just messing around, I really don’t think Glenn really ever worked ? but he was always cooking something and it was always good, we will all miss that shit head because we loved to pick on him and he always knew how to dish it out.
    God bless and take care and know that Glen would want you
    To try to enjoy the rest of your time on earth.
    Jim
