The couple moved to Tyler in 1968, where Glen began his teaching career while volunteer coaching at Gorman Catholic High School.

Glen and Madeleine became a part of the White Bluff community in 1992, where he was an avid golfer. Glen became “Papa” in 1999 with the birth of their first grandchild. Glen and Madeleine are faithful members of the White Bluff Chapel. Glen will be remembered by his friends, among other things, for his kindness and witty sense of humor. He was an excellent golfer and always made the time on the golf course with him fun and memorable. He also had a sweet tooth and loved it when friends would bring him candy. Most of all, Glen will be remembered for his love for his family, especially Madeleine. Their love and devotion for each other was always evident and admired. He was the kind of person that made you feel fortunate that he was your friend and neighbor.
