To the Family of Glen,
My heart felt sympathy goes out to all of you. There are too many found memories I have to list them all. Of times spent at your cottage in Windsor with all of you, and your Mom & Dad. I am sure your Father is looking down on all of you while sitting around a card table playing poker with his friends and telling stories of how hard it was to be an electrician, and how proud he is of you all. I know because I sat at a card table a few times with him and heard those stories. All while he collected my money. He was good a good poker player. One story I can share is I was a young Foreman working at IBM Endicott, and we had your father my Dad, and some other old timers on a very tough hi voltage job. We were spread out across the campus. It was winter time, and the guys were outside on the trestle, and in manholes. It was cold, and not the best of conditions to be in. But there were a few spots of warm inside work, which they all wanted of course. In order to get that spot those guys pulled more stunts to cause the other to be delayed so they could lay claim to that work. Nothing mean just being pranksters. We had a lot laughs and I learned a lot. And looking back it makes me smile, and that is how I will remember your Father.
I was blessed to have known your dad and family. May God Bless you all and keep you safe as you celebrate your fathers life, and his journey to everlasting life.
