Glenn married the love of his life, his high school sweetheart, Eva Lewis on August 16, 1969. Together they owned and operated several businesses starting in the early years with a nursery and landscaping company Green Acres Nursery/Elm Creek Nursery. For the last over 30 years they had G & E Custom Homes and Construction building homes in Devine and the surrounding areas which turned into a family business as some of their children joined the company. He also ventured into the retail world for a few years pursuing his love for hunting, opening the Trophy Stand in Pearsall, TX and later owned the Neptune Hotel during the time they lived in Aransas Pass, TX.
Glenn always had a love for hunting and fishing. It is a passion he shared with his children and later in life with his grandchildren. He cherished the time he spent with his children/grandchildren in these adventures and he was, until the very end, still prepping and planning for this year's hunting season with a fishing weekend planned in the near future. He found great enjoyment in attending the sporting events of his grandchildren and always had conversations with them over how their season was going.
Glenn loved his children and grandchildren fiercely. He loved his family. He was an honorable son, beloved husband, proud father, and cherished grandfather. He will be missed dearly.
The family has decided to have a private ceremony at a later time.
Services are under the care of Primrose Funeral Services of Devine, Texas.
