His love for his beautiful wife of 19 years was always evident in his private communications. I will sorely miss his wit and insight. My thoughts and prayers are with Glenn’s family.

Robert, I like the part about the roman candle. <em>James2 : Very sorry to hear this. Hopefully he is in car heaven, <strong>where the light is always green</strong>, the roads paved, curvy and challenging, and the exhaust note is like the singing of angels.</em> You need a red light once in awhile, even in Heaven, for you cannot blast off if you don't first come to a stop. Plus, I like to think that the girls in Heaven are pretty; I wonder if flirting is allowed at streetcorners in heaven? Rest in peace, Glenn.

We must live for today, but not like there is no tomorrow. Although it is sometimes too short, every body gets a lifetime to effect others in the world. Glenn has effected all of us, and we are all a little worse off with his passing. My very best to his family. As a paramedic, I have learned all too well how fleeting and fragile life can be.

Glenn and I chatted many a time in private, about the joy of Honda gearboxes and getting an IS250 'when we get older and gave up driving.' He was the only Truther I trusted to confide in when I was pregnant (I'm sure Frank guessed from my reviews, but Glenn was the only one I told), and he gave me many laughs during those long, morning-sickness-ridden months. He was a dear friend, and I'll pour out a little 10W-30 every time I get an oil change, in his memory.
