I’m so very sorry to read about Glenn’s passing. He was a very special man. I had the utmost respect for him as a principal, bus driver, and caring human being. It was such a pleasure to run into him and he never failed to recognize me and stop to chat. I have no doubt he’s rejoicing in heaven with his family that have gone before him. Prayers to your family. I was hoping to be able to attend his service, but I do understand. Thinking of you all.
