I worked with Glen at Alaska Airlines and had great respect for him. He will surely be missed by all that knew him.
I will miss my brother-in-law very much. He had the greatest laugh and would always remember me as a little girl and talk about the good old days. He loved his planes and just get so excited when he saw an older plane, he was like a little kid laughing and oh wow look at that.
I love you very much and now you can be together with Mary for the rest of time.
You will forever be in my heart.

I was a co-worker of Glen’s at Alaska Air and recall when he hired in along with Ron Owens and Randy Petrie. He was very pleasant to be around and a hard worker. May he rest in peace at a better place.
