So sorry for your loss.
Dear family … I was saddened to learn of Glenn’s passing. As a HS student I worked briefly with Glenn
at their Case dealership. I learned a lot from him and he was kind and helpful. A great guy I really admired and my heart goes out to the entire family. May the Lord comfort you.
Bruce, Julie, Roxy and families, I am so sorry for your loss. My dad (Herman LeRoux) worked together with Glen at Johanning Brothers for many years. Glen and dad visited often after the shop closed. Thoughts and prayers to you all.
Tom and Debbie (LeRoux)Macleod
Bruce & Heather and family
You’re in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely
John & Vicki Miller

Got to know Glenn when Zeke was at Brandon woods. I was so happy to know that he was coming to the manor where I was working. What a dear man he was. God bless his family
So sorry for your loss, Glenn was a great guy. I worked with him years ago at All Star Dairy. Thoughts and prayers to his family!
