Dear Dirk, Cindy, Rachel and Jennifer, I cannot tell you how sad Gerner and I were to hear of Glen's passing. For many years he was a big part of our life. He always had a big smile and a twinkle in his eye and the most thoughtful and caring person we have ever met. He will be missed by everyone who knew him. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time.
Love,
Aunt Merijo and Uncle Gerner

Donna, Dirk and Family,

Glen was a journeyman mason when I became an apprentise. He was one of the masons that taught with his skill and patience. He always had a smile on his face and a hearty workerman's handshake for you. I was glad to be on the "big job" with him. He will be missed in this community. May he rest in peace and confort find all of you.

We are thinking of and praying for all of you during this very sad time!

I cannot imagine your profound grief right now.

Glen's love and pride for his family was more than evident and shone brightly through his sincere, contagious smile.
Hold on tight to all your wonderful memories, as I know you have many. He was truly blessed to have such a warm, loving, supportive family surrounding him...as you were to share time with such a wonderful man.

Our deepest sympathies to you all!
The Patrick Family
