It is with great sadness & heartache that we have lost Glen. My family (Mong’s) have been great friends with the Valentine family dating back some 50 years when they lived on Hemlock Road. To me personally, Glen & Ruth were family – – I have so many great memories spending time with He & Ruth, and my childhood best friend, their daughter Gwen. His laughter and smile was unforgettable!
For those of us who had the privilege of knowing Glen, we know we lost one heck of a man.
To Glen’s family, I extend my deepest sympathy to you… Gwen & Dan Ristau, what can I say…. you two have been angels from heaven.
