So sorry for your loss Gil and family My thoughts and prayers are with you all
Glen was a great friend. We went to school together probably all the way through High school. I lived in the top of the old Terrace. we went to teen canteen across from his house and had alot of fun. Sorry for your loss and a wonderful person.
I remember Glen, Gary McDaniels, Herschel (Duane) Nay and I ran around together for a short time. Gary was fun to be around along with the rest of the "gang". This was in 64-65. Lost track of Gary after graduation.
We are sorry for your loss. May your memories help your family through the tough times. Sincerely, Blaine & Paulene Hartley.
