Mary,
Sorry to hear about Glen. We worked together at APL for many years and a few of us had some lunches years ago. Glen was a good friend. We lost contact after we retired and Lee Pryor died.
Mary;
Sorry for your time of sadness. Jesus is waiting for each of us who belong to Him. More and more of my friends are going to be with Him.
May god bless you and me

I am so sorry to hear of Glen’s passing. I enjoyed getting to know him when I worked at APL. I will keep your family in my prayers.
Mary, I have many memories of Glens advice in your garage during Brad and I’s highschool years. He tried as he could to keep us in line and not hurt ourselves, to his credit we made it unscathed. I hope your heart is filled with fond memories at this time.
Hugs,
