It was a pleasure working with Glenn at the Vidor Office. He taught me a lot. Great man.
Glenn was a top hand. great partner , and a great friend for over forty years! He had the unusual ability to jump down your throat one minute, and the next minute be telling you a joke. And he loved telling jokes , and the ones that got top billing, he could…and would tell over and over again. He loved hearing them as well . His ability to be loud and his gruff demeanor was just a show. He was one someone might call a big ole Teddy Bear .
He is Home now, may Diane , and the family find comfort and peace in these times of sadness. RIP my dear brother and friend!
we will miss that booming voice and laugh that let you know Glenn was present. a good law man, with good people skills.Glenn was a man of integrity and faith.
Salute Brother !
