Glen was born in Colorado but spent most of his years in California where he met his wife Jeanne. Glen enlisted and served in the Korean war on the USS Cowpens as a Fireman. He and his wife adopted 3 children and started their family. In 1966 they moved to Pomona, California where they would begin working in Post Acute Care at Towne Avenue Convalescent Hospital and donating his time as the music minister at Pomona Nazarene Church.

Glens last years were spent in Turlock, California at Covenant Village Care Center with his youngest daughter overseeing his care. They were able to spend his last hours together being sung to and hearing about memories and how much he was appreciated for all he did for his family.
