I taught with and was friends with Jim for many years going all the way back to Belzer in 1968. He is greatly missed by many and that is a glowing tribute to his fine parents.

GLENN WAS A WONDERFUL PERSON AND A FINE ENGINEER. WE BOTH WORKED IN THE TRANSMISSION ENGINEERING AREA, AND I DON’T THINK THERE WAS EVER A TIME WHEN GLENN WAS UNWILLING TO HELP ME AND OTHER NEW ENGINEERS WITH THEIR PROBLEMS. GLENN WILL BE REMEMBERED BY MANY PEOPLE
