    Bill and Punky are cousins. We spent Christmas one year at Warsaw in the cabin. Punky and Sissie slept under the Christmas tree with our daughters Shelley and Sherryl. What a blessed memory. There were other memories but this one stands out. God Bless your family.

    Thank you Glenn!

    Thank you for the lessons learned I still live with today…
    Thank you for being my coach…
    Thank you for letting me be a part of your family…
    And most importantly thank you for all the grace and compassion you showed my brother. He had so much respect for the investment you made in him throughout his life.

    Julie, Nick, & Nathan all I can possibly say is the sorrow we bear is the price we pay for love we share on this journey. Hopefully with in Glenn´s peace you will find some of your own.

    Eric, Alycia, Nevaeh, & MaryGrace

    Im shocked to hear it. Glen and Glenda Hughes were my childhood friends. We use to live next door to each other on Lawndale Ave until they moved to the Ozarks. We had a lot of fun. My mom and Ada use to enter all radio contest. Glenda and I and my sister Joyce and other friends use to sit on each others porchs and played with Barbies. I was Judy Hayes then.

    Glenn was the consummate family man. Raised 2 beautiful sons and was rewarded with 6 grandchildren. Glenn and Julie celebrated 50 years of marriage this year. An uncommon plateau in today’s world. Both of them concentrated on raising a loving family. Glenn, you will always be missed. Love you Brother
