cousin Gary Fitch, My most thought of memory of Glenn was when we were kids having beebee gun fights down in the basement of uncle Wayne and aunt Bonnie with John. It never ended well with those two always getting into a fight. Also I remember back when Glenn fell off the back of that milk truck seriously injuring his leg. whenever I saw him, he was always in good spirits. He will be missed by all who loved him. Rest in peace cuz.

Many fond childhood memories I have of my Stepdad:He loved making casseroles with whatever he had in the kitchen.We had one TV in the house, we watched many episodes of Mash.I enjoyed many sleepovers at his house with my friends.I enjoyed his huge yard, mowing his lawn on his riding lawn mower.Playing catch.Riding the bus to school.Playing with my friends in the neighborhood on the bike trail behind his house.I was able to buy my first car @ Age 16 with his help.Most of all adopting my sister and I at a young age and sharing his family with us.Happy I stopped by weeks ago to say Hi and gave him a big hug. I will always cherish everything he did for me.I’m very thankful, grateful and beyond blessed, he was a huge part of my life. Michelle
