Glenn was a highly decorated law enforcement officer with honors.  His career was spent serving and protecting the communities that he was part of along with his brothers and sisters in blue.  He proudly served the DeKalb County Police Department in Decatur, Ga., 1978 – 1985, then continued his service as a decorated officer for the Delray Beach Police Department in Delray Beach, Fla., 1986 -1997, until his retirement.

Glenn was a wonderful man who loved golfing, fishing, and coaching little league and travel ball teams that his son participated in.  Glenn was an avid sports enthusiast to all who knew him. He loved sports, all sports.  He also loved the company of friends while spending hours telling stories and enjoying the laughter of all.  He was kind and humble but, most importantly, he had a big heart for those he loved and shared years of friendship with.

Glenn will be sadly missed by all who had the honor of knowing him.  May Glenn forever rest in peace and remain in our hearts.
