One of Glenn’s great joys was music. He loved playing his piano and sharing his talent. He said once that his dream job was to be a professional musician. And at the beginning and ending of his working life, he knew that joy. Glenn continued his love of learning and thinking by reading with a fury. He particularly enjoyed “the big Russians”, Ernest Hemingway, and a variety of different history topics. He also had a passion for woodworking and created stunning wood masterpieces in his workshop. Glenn loved the outdoors and spent many summers camping in the Adirondacks.
