My name is Bill Schwoegler. Glenn was a one time very good friend. We bowled on the same team for a few years. I believe his moving to the east side kind of change things. We missed him but any time he wanted to return he would have been welcome. He was just one nice guy and a perfect gentleman. God Bless him and his family at this difficult time.

My name is Darryl McCants, I worked with Glen for many years as a Letter Carrier at West Side Station here in Madison. Glen also worked at the old Brookwood Station on Hammersley Rd. Back then I was just starting my Carrier, so it was a great learning experience working with Glen. He was a quiet Man, but he was a Fire Cracker out on his route. My thoughts go out to his Wife, and Children.
