He was a native of New Orleans and life-long resident of Chalmette until Katrina took his home in 2005. From then he spent his remaining years living with his ever close brother Matt.

His family knew him as a loving husband, nurturing father, generous grand and great-grandfather. Growing up, Glenn had a love of sports and continued to show his support of the athletics by watching his grand and great-grandchildren play. Glenn worked hard all his life and was passionate about the automotive world as shown by his employment through the years at: Dixie Electric and Auto Parts, Auto Painting and Repairs and Quality Used Cars.
