We have so many fond memories of your mom & dad during their time spent in Happy Trails, AZ. We shared many a fun evening playing "golf" and shuffleboard and will cherish those special times. Glen was a true gentleman. He would always give you a tip of the hat and a big smile. May you rest in peace, Glen. God has acquired a true "angle". May you rest in Peace.
