Glen was a life-long member of First Baptist Church of Cleveland. He served as a deacon for many years as well as on various committees and as a Sunday school teacher.

Glen accomplished much during his years, but when he gave his life to the Lord at 9 years old, he said it was the most important decision of this life. He served faithfully in his church , in his community and in his home. To know Glen was to love him and he will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
