Our thoughts are with you all at this time. We truly enjoyed Glenn, he was a very creative person.
My sincere sympathy to family and friends for your loss. My late husband, Bob and I, worked with Glenn (as owners of Ace Upholstery) on many projects. It was our pleasure to have known and worked with and for him.
