  1. My Dad was a great Father. Most of all, he was just MY Dad. He was a simple quite man but his ethics and moral value ran deep. When I was a child I remember him putting in long hard days as a diesel mechanic without complaint. Many times having to be called back out all hours of the night to help stranded truck drivers who broke down in the middle of their routes. Whether it was bitter winter storms or trucks in the ditch he served them all. He loved one woman for 47 years. Did his best raising 5 daughters and one son.
    His life was not without grief, he lost a daughter tragetically and 18 months later lost his wife to cancer. He remained faithful to his family, doing what he could to provide for their needs. As time went on he was able to move to Jordan Mn to an assisted living facility just blocks from my house. I was able to spend valuable time with him the last two years which I will cherish for the rest of my life. Going to miss you Dad until we meet again on the other side.

  2. My love and prayers go to all of you……Jackie and Dorothy will b there to greet him w/such hugz!! <3….Thinking of you guys often!! xxoo 😉

  3. I enjoyed taking care of Glen when he lived at oak terrace. He will be greatly missed by everyone. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
