Glen loved barbecuing, entertaining, golfing, history and travelling.He loved reading and learning.It was very important to him to take vacations every year with his wife and kids in an effort to create lasting memories and strengthen our bond as a family.He enjoyed going on cruises to Mexico and the Caribbean, going to Hawaii and Disney World, and spending time at Lake Mead.He enjoyed the outdoors and spent time hiking, camping, and backpacking with his son through Boy Scouts.He also enjoyed playing card and board games, especially with his daughter during the months they were both struggling with their health issues.

Glen was a family man in the traditional sense.He worked hard to support and provide for his family, and in his free time wanted nothing more than to be at home with his wife and kids creating memories.He was an inspiration to his children, and a true partner and friend to his wife.

Most importantly, Glen was a man of faith.Attending Mass and being an active member of his parish community at San Francisco Solano Catholic Church in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA was extremely important to him.His faith grew stronger every day of his life and during his last battles on this earth, he found comfort in the arms of Jesus.
