I am so sorry to here of Glen passing. I was just asking Linda Potter over christmas if any one had heard from Glen lately. I seem to have lost contact with many of the people I worked with at Nosco since I left. But Glen was a friend and I thought of him often. He will be missed dearly for his compassion and humor.

Dear Clarke Family:
I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Clarke. He was a unique and wonderful person.
Although I bet it has been 20 years or so since I last saw him, I remember him (and the rest of you) like it were yesterday!
I hope all of you are filled with happy memories and share wonderful stories with each during this trying time.
God bless you all,

I didn't know Glenn very well, but he had a way of making me feel like the most important person in the world that he'd known all his life. He was the perfect salesman. A very fun loving man with a sweet personality. He will be missed. My sincerest sympathies to his wife, Mary and all of his children and grandchildren.
