Glenn was my stepdad, he called me little Turd and I called him Big Turd for years, he was the only Dad I really had. Keith and I enjoy going to the lake to spent time with him and Mom. He really enjoyed us cooking for them especially deep-fried Turkey at Thanksgiving. He will be in our hearts and greatly missed. As Lynn said great dad, father-in-law and Pops. Love and Miss you.
