Sorry to hear of your loss.
I worked with Glen at Simonsons and Knox Lumber. We shared an interest in woodworking. I was fortunate to take a tour of his shop. I also purchased an urn and flag boxes from him when my husband passed away. The flag boxe will now remind me of the craftsman he was.
The obituary said he will be interned in Little Falls. His military service will be honored there. Also know that his woodworking passion is honored too, in the urn I buried my husband in. I’m sure he has many Slivers of wood and fellow veterans he will recognize in his resting place.🇺🇸
So sorry Jake and family for your loss. I met Glenn thru my job at the newspaper and later the chamber. Such a kind man who helped me with my dad’s urn. Shelly (from the body shop)
Our sincere condolences and prayers for Glen’s family.
RIP my friend
