He developed a great love of automobiles from a very young age. He loved going to Porkey's on Saturday nights to watch the cars drag race and do burnouts down University Ave, and even participated on occasion. He never missed a Back to the 50's and visited the Friday night car shows in North St Paul as often as he could.

Glenn became a father to three rambunctious boys of his own (payback perhaps from the gray hair he gave his own parents) whom he loved very much.

He met his soulmate Mary in his late 30's and together they had another son. His relationship with his beloved wife was unique and very special, to the point of embarrassment of his kids. Together they had a blended family of 7 spirited children who kept them on their toes.He took great pride in teaching all of the children how to drive and how to play board games with serious intensity and not so friendly competition. Camping trips and old Western Romance movies were his way of unwinding from all of the adventures a large family provides.

Grandchildren came and he took the role of being a grandfather very seriously. He wanted to make sure that he would be the first one to spoil them with ice cream and Pepsi.

Glenn had a heart attack in 2017, which created multiple new health problems that he and Mary would have to take on with courage over the next couple years.  He fought through so much and showed everyone what true strength was. Even in his final days he was proud that he "one upped Terry" after making it through a complicated procedure. He was strong willed, brave and above all, Glenn loved his family and life. He was a friend to many and made new friends wherever he went, even while sitting at a stop light.

In true Glenn fashion we ask that you come dressed comfortably, or in his favorite article of clothing, a flannel.
