Rest Glen, until you hear at dawn, the low, clear reveille of God. Thank you for your service to this nation. U.S. Army.
Mr Gamble worked with my dad Wayne Brinegar at K&E Drilling for many years. I always looked forward to visiting with Mr. Gamble when I came to the office to see my dad. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
My thoughts and Prayers are with your family. I am sorry for the loss. Thank you for your service!
It is of great sadness to learn of Glen’s passing. I had the privilege of working with him at The Center (Riordan Clinic) for many years. We would share stories of travel. He so enjoyed trips taken with his family and would tell me about them. Glen was one of the nicest, most intelligent, kindest people I have had the pleasure to know. A true gentleman. He and Etta continued to share Christmas cards with me each year. It was my blessing to have known him. He and Etta are in my prayers. Laura Benson
We really enjoyed working with Glen. He was a great person and had a wonderful sense of humor. He managed and helped setup our supplement fulfillment process for many years at the Riordan Clinic. He was always there in a time of need. Sorry I did not hear about his passing in time to make it to the funeral service. Thoughts and prayers are with Glen and family. – Mike S
