My daughter told me of Glenn's passing when I returned from camping. I'm shocked. I was blessed to work with Glenn in the mid 1970s when I was the Assistant District Attorney for Taos County. Glenn was a good cop. I will keep Glenn's family in my prayers. God bless you.

Knew Glenn in the '80's. Always a smile, always wanting to learn and hear about what we were doing, running a natural food co-op in El Prado. One of the best listeners, you knew he would hear you and help you. My condolences to the family.
