He enjoyed spending time with family and friends, was a long-time bowler in the Glenn Martin Roche Diagnostics Bowling League and was an avid music lover. But mostly, he was an incredible son, father and husband who touched many lives through never-ending kindness and generosity. He will be sorely missed by many.

Memorial Contributions:
Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma is a rare, painful form of blood cancer which causes blood cells to attack your skin and typically requires a Stem-Cell Transplant to go into remission. Glenn was scheduled for a transplant in September with a 9 out of 10 match donor, however, circumstances changes and his cancer progressed to where he was unable to achieve transplant.
