One of the nicest, down to earth couples that I recall from the 80’s when I played hockey with their son Glenn. Always had time for a chat, angels sent to heaven, rest in peace🙏 - Posted by: Kevin Lajeunesse (Friend of Glen) on: Oct 18, 2025

Your parents were neighbors at Sandy Hook. My mom, Norma, enjoyed a close friendship with your mom, walking many miles together over the years. My mom often talked of your parent’s kindness and commitment to their family. My sincere condolences on your loss. - Posted by: Terri Philpot (Neighbor) on: Oct 18, 2025
