Our thoughts & Prayers for you and the family members. We will remember the last visit at his home with the two of you. I will always think of Glenn cruising up & down fourth ave. in his 40 ford Convertible and some of his other hot rods. Glenn never lost his passion for the hot rods or for life & friends. He had many along his path and also all thru high school. Glenn will be missed by Freddie & Myself.
