I’ve met Glenn several times at the VCCC conventions. He was a very nice guy! At the convention in St. Louis or Chicago he gave me a Tradition outer bag. I remember at the Minneapolis convention him making a 1205 sing by placing his finger in the bag while the unit was running. It’s was funny! He will be greatly missed.

Glenn was also a member of the Lambda Car Club International and Todd and I used to see him at many LCCI grand invitationals Not only was he a wealth of information on cars but vacuums too.
It was so nice to meet someone who shared two of the same interests. He had some interesting cars that he collected and could always help out members with mechanical problems with their cars. It was always a pleasure to see him at the VCCC conventions as well. So long friend and Godspeed. Charlie W. This post was last edited 10/02/2017 at 19:46 |

It was a great privilege to get to know Glen. Every year he would send a special note when he registered for the convention or paid his membership. I remember meeting him at my first convention. He had a wealth of knowledge and was so willing to share it with all of the club members. Prayers of peace for his family. Glad he is no longer in pain and has gone on to a place of peace and comfort. |
