Glenn was the kind of person who made just about everyone smile. He was full of life, and his presence made a lot of people happy." Everyone commented on his beautiful blue eyes and his kind and gentle spirit. He enjoyed spending time outdoors, going on outings, and any type of music, especially traditional hymns. He loved attending Lancaster Generations and Sunday school at Calvary Church. He loved going out to eat with his housemates, and generally appreciated a good meal, especially dessert!

In addition to his family, he will be dearly missed by so many people, including his friends Nelson and Leon, his staff at Valley Road and the many other individuals and staff at Excentia who touched his life and whose lives he touched, the staff at Lancaster Generations, his teacher and classmates in the Shepherd's class at Calvary Church.
