Glenn grew up in Milford, Delaware, and received BME and BEE degrees with high honors from the University of Delaware.

Remembrances

I met Glenn and Wendy as square dancers. They always inspired me with their energy, their can-do attitude, and the stories they had to tell after their adventurous trips. Glenn was such an intelligent and fascinating conversationalist, but you had to draw him out. He was good at listening and keeping his opinions to himself - an ability so many of us should emulate! If I had to think of one word to describe Glenn, it would be determined. He approached everything he did with careful planning and total determination. His trips were legendary because he was both daring and thorough. I will miss him, but I think I will always be inspired by his memory, and grateful for having known him.
