Dear Urbana and family, So sorry to hear of Glenn’s passing. Urbana, your house was the last house my parents visited with family/friends. I drove them there after an appointment at Dr. Black Dental. We spent a nice afternoon reminiscing. Some of their favorite times was playing cards with you and Glenn. We will also never forget the pig roasts. Glenn was a good man and he will be missed. All of you are in my prayers. Sincerely, Sam Field
