I worked with Glen for many years at The London Grill. He had great jokes and he was a pleasure to work with. I hope you are resting in peace Glen and that the angels are enjoying your pirate jokes.

Mrs Riggs, Marcia and Family,
So very sorry. May God grant you peace and understanding at this time. The Glen I knew was quite, yet his eyes had a very special language.

Dear Shirley, Marcia and Corie, You are in my thoughts and prayers. Glen was a special young man. I have many pleasant memories of soulful brown eyes and a tail of hair. My deepest sympathies for your loss.

I am so very sorry to hear if your loss… All our loss. I work with Glen on certain artist endevours. I always knew him to be a kind and gentle soul. He liked the odd and obscure … But was and always will be one if the good guys. If you could find the energy, could you give me a private email and tell me what happened. I feel my own loss at this time. I will miss his humor and smile. I enjoyed knowing him.
