A good, good man. I loved loved him like a brother. “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”

Glenn was my cousin by family, we grew up in the same neighborhood and worked together at Texaco Refinery for years. Glenn and I shared many good times together in the neighborhood and as adults. His youngest daughter is my godchild. I will miss his smile, his stories, his sincerity to life and commitment to family. My heart hurts in his passing.

No words can describe loosing a Dad, but i am grateful that i had him in my life for over 40 years. I am blessed to be able to say i was able to be with him in his last days, I was able to thank him for Adopting me and giving me such a great life and teaching me to be a great person like he is. My dad definitely had a huge impact on so many people, so very kind and would do anything for anyone. I will cherish the memories we all share with him. He did not even mind when we used to call him "Tubby Tuna" . I know you are watching over all of us dad and i want to thank you again for just being YOU!
