Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Dear Dorcas and family, I’m so sorry to hear of Glenn’s passing. I will always remember how gracious he was at your Christmas parties for ECW and the hours he spent polishing the silver for the Old English Tea. You both have made a huge difference to St. James.
We wish to express our sincere condolences to the family of Glenn Cooper from his old Alcoa friends. He was a true professional at Boeing and respected by his suppliers.
My father, Bernard Taylor (recently deceased) knew and respected Glenn from his days at Boeing. Im not certain how far back their initial meeting goes, but I do know that what started out as a business relationship soon grew in to a personal friendship that Dad truly enjoyed, well past Glenns retirement. They would get together for lunch periodically, some of which I had the good fortune to attend. Many times the lunches would include other Boeing ‘old timers’. It was always entertaining to hear the stories of the ‘good old days’ at Boeing. After Dads stroke in 1998 Glenn would visit him at home on many occasions and that always made Dads day. Even though my business relationship with Glenn began only a short time before his retirement, I feel fortunate to have gotten to know him and am truly appreciative of his relationship with my father.
