Glenn was drafted into the U.S. Army and served during the Vietnam Conflict until his honorable discharge in 1972.
On Aug. 5, 1962, Glenn was united in marriage to Ellen Kay Moore in Warsaw. She preceded him in death on Nov. 27, 1977.
Glenn worked as an independent financial advisor until his retirement. Prior to that, he owned Turner Trading Inc., working on the floor of the Philadelphia Stock Exchange. He also worked many years for RR Donnelley & Sons printing company at facilities in Indiana, South Carolina and New Jersey.
Throughout his life, Glenn was deeply devoted to his family and Christian faith. He served as president of Optimist Clubs in Warsaw in the early 1970s and in Spartanburg, S.C., in the early 1980s. Glenn had a lifelong love of the outdoors.
