Glenn was very active in his community serving on many boards and clubs throughout his lifetime. He was a current member of the Fayetteville Public Utilities Board of Directors, recently achieving NRECA Director Gold certification.
Glenn’s greatest joy in life was his family. Known to many simply as Pa, he coached numerous youth sports teams over the years and left a lasting impact.
