As a skilled carpenter handyman, Glenn was always said to have been “handy to have around.” Anytime his family considered buying a new home, they wanted him to lay eyes on it first. He could see the potential in any fixer upper and turn it into home sweet home. It seemed as though there wasn’t anything he couldn’t repair or restore. A man who never shied away from hard work whether it’s at home, on the farm, or at church. He was a faithful member and maintenance worker at the First Baptist Church in Church Hill since 1995. For three decades, he greeted his kingdom family at the door, parked cars, and fixed whatever needed fixing.
