May the God of all comfort strengthen the family during this time of sorrow. Those who pass on, God keeps in his memory because they are precious in his eyes. My condolences to the family.
Psalms 116:15
I worked with Glenn and Gina at Beech Aircraft. He was a kind and gentle person to all. My prayers are for his family.
I remember a very young Glenn rescuing a kitten that was torn apart by a car. He was kind, smart and a protector of the weak.
I thoroughly enjoyed knowing and working with Glenn. I miss him. He had a natural sense of peoples character.
Glenn was a good man to work for and supportive during my time of family health issues. Hope you find peace and comfort in the coming days knowing that he touched and cared for so many.
I worked with Glenn for four years at what was then Hawker Beechcraft. I was at the desk next to him for two years. His sense of humor, tribal knowledge and technical ability were greatly appreciated. He was a really good guy and it was a pleasure to work with and for him. He will be missed.
Our condolences to Gina and Colin and family from Dominic and Susan Gilroy
Glenn was a kind, thoughtful, great mentor and good friend who preached and practiced the principle of what you do in this world echoes in eternity. His presence and leadership will certainly be missed.
A wonderful man, gone to soon. Prayers for all
Glenn was a pleasure to work with/for! He combined a dry sense of humor with an incredible ability to recall technical data to create an enjoyable and productive work environment while being a great mentor to me as well as others. He is and will continue to be missed!
Glenn was a hard working (probably too hard) and smart flight analyst. He always kept us in line and safe. He made great contributions to Beechcraft and will always be remembered. We will miss him.
I enjoyed running with Glennie back in the day. Last December, he was so excited to become a grandfather to Kailey Crosby. Devoted to his family, Glenn was always ready to help any family member or others with a problem. We, his family including his pets, will love and miss Glenn terribly!
I had the pleasure of working with Glenn at Beechcraft and was hired by him into the Aero group. His dry sense of humor will be missed.
I owe Glenn so much. I am grateful to have worked for him, to have learned from him, and to have laughed with him. He was a sharp engineer, protected his team, and always did the right thing. He will be always remembered.
I worked with Glenn for many years. I remember him for his integrity, his work ethics, his caring for his co-workers, and his unsurpassed sense of humor. I will miss him.
My condolences to Gina and Colin. As a boss and mentor, Glenn had a profound impact on my professional career. Im grateful for all the lessons he passed on, and he will forever have my admiration and indebtedness. I will remember his quirky sense of humor, integrity, and strength of character. Fond memories. -Derwood
Glenn was certainly one of a kind. I feel honored and blessed to have worked with him for nearly 25 years. In that time he matured from a free-wheeling new-grad to one of the sharpest engineers Beech had. Thanks to his photographic memory, he was the only person who truly understood the infinite variations of King Air development. Also made him a walking encyclopedia on anything sprint car, NASCAR, or F1 related. Glenn was a great guy to work for…. took great care of his people and made the AeroPerf group like family. He will be missed. Condolences to the entire family.
To Gina, Colin and family, you are in my thoughts during these hard times. In the 27 years I worked with and for Glenn three things were always certain, he always protected his team against unrealistic management requests, he always provided unmatched knowledge and guidance, and lastly, he was always there to let any member of his team know that his socks or tie were too colorful for engineering attire. That was Glenn, thoughtful, intelligent with a sharp sense of humor. I know he will be very missed in that a day doesnt go by that I dont wonder What would Glenn do or say?
Thanks Glenn
Glenn was a special person and Brother in-law, always there to help his family and never asked for help until he became sick last year. He never said much about how much he loved his family, but he would by the things he did for all of us over the years. Glenn my brother will be watching over all us for many years.Miss you every day!!
Love Tony, Lisa, Anna & Zachary Williams
Uncle Glenn will be missed in our family. Ill always remember him as a race car lover with a great sense of humor. When my sister and I were staying with Glenn and Gina one summer years ago, he insisted on showing us what real music sounded like! This included the likes of Creed, which is why I will always think of Glenn when Creed is playing. 🙂 And Ill never forget Glenns kindness and generosity, both when I was a kid and as an adult. We will all miss you! Love, Shannon and Bruno Trindade
Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
