Last weekend I lost a good friend. He was also a son, a father, a husband and a grandfather. He will be missed by many many people.
Glenn had a way of rubbing on people and making an impact. Some people did not always appreciate this rubbing but we can say for sure he is remembered!
I met him back when I was working for a ranch. I used to go over to his place to talk horses and often get advice when I didn’t know what else to do. Glenn always had sound advice.
He said to me once, “If you don’t like the way things are, you need to make a change. Only you can be responsible for that.”
What great words of wisdom for life and for horses.
I always enjoyed stopping by the farm where he raised quality quarter horses and cattle. He was always fun to chat with and a person could talk with him for hours and never know that much time had passed.
Always willing to help another person out, Glenn told me if I ever needed help, just to call him. He was very gruff on the outside and very soft on the inside.
He was very opinionated and bull-headed. Very much like his beloved bulldogs “Millie” (who preceded him in death) and “Winnie.”
When I first met Millie I said, “Glenn, that is one funny looking animal.” He laughed and replied with, “that they are.” One thing about Glenn, he was very straightforward. Likewise, he appreciated straightforwardness right back.
I am saddened by his death. It was too early. I’m glad I got to spend some time with him back in January and am regretting cancelling our lunch plans two weeks ago.
I'm glad he got to spend some time on this earth retired. He was a very hard worker. Up until recently he worked in town full time (40 hours) plus he ran the farm. He had something like 60-80 head of horses and cows. Not exactly a small job. He also made all of his own hay.
I am thankful his death was peaceful, in his sleep. He is probably up there leaning on a fence post, looking at horses and chatting, (and letting his opinion be known).
At least I hope so, he once told me his favorite thing to do was look at horses and talk.
RIP Glenn
