Educated locally, Glen attended Elm Mott Elementary and LaVega High School, later attending Baylor University. His commitment to service was evident through his enlistment in the National Guard Reserve in 1954, where he proudly served his country.
Professionally, Glen worked for Sears for 39 years in the plumbing and kitchen design department. After retirement, he worked numerous jobs in which one was reading meters for the Pure Water Company.
Glen was a man of faith, actively involved in the First Baptist Church Elm Mott and Oak Grove Baptist Church in China Spring. His commitment to his faith was evident in his participation in numerous church activities, serving as deacon, chairing numerous committees, teaching Sunday school, and singing in the choir. If the church doors were open, he was there.
A lover of the outdoors, Glen enjoyed his time fishing, water skiing, camping, gardening, and raising goats on occasion. These hobbies provided him not just relaxation but also time spent with family and friends in the environments he loved.
Glen, in his humble, quiet, simple ways touched many lives unknowingly. He is fondly remembered as a Christian example and mentor to those who had the honor of knowing him.
