What a tragedy.
I did a story on his daughter, Kirsi, a sophomore post at LCSC the other day. Very nice gal.
Sounds like this man will be missed by many.

Glenn was a great person, father and a great Man. I met him while working in the SWEET program for teachers. I have only been teaching for 2 years and he has helped me in many ways this year. I am also hoping that I will wake up and this will all just be a dream. I reach out to his kids and IF there is anything that I can do please ask. His kids ment everything to him. He talked about both his kids everytime that I talked to him. I received an email from him on Friday and he was telling me to find time for myself. I will miss his words of wisdom and long meaningful conversations.
