Glen loved his church and loved serving in his church. He had served for over 50 years as a deacon. He also enjoyed going on mission trips, one of his most memorable, was the mission trip to Mexico. Glen also enjoyed traveling to Hawaii to see his son Tommy, while he was stationed there, while in the U.S. Navy. Family fishing trips to Canada were also a favorite with Glen. It was always a great time away creating wonderful memories together. Glen also had the privilege of traveling with Tommy, to Washington D.C., on the Honor Flight.
