His siblings include Penny Francisco, Wendy Dunshee, Shelley (Kevin) Kling, Rod (Deborah) Francisco all from the Plainwell/Otsego area. He had many nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews that he loved spending time with and viewed them as his own kids.

 

Glenn loved everyone, and would give you a hug immediately upon meeting you. He especially had a close relationship with his 4 siblings and told everyone about them. He loved just being with them. He often told of his childhood memories working on the farm with his siblings and parents : milking cows on the family run Dairy Farm, feeding pigs, driving the hay wagon, and countless other chores he was entrusted with. Three of his favorite things were frequenting the local coffee shops with his Father, listening to music and watching the TV show Dukes of Hazzard. He was a "good ol boy" like the TV show theme song sang about and would start singing and dancing along to that song whenever he heard it come on the radio. He had many good friends in Hastings where he went to school and attended different adult programs, and eventually was employed as a cleaning janitor there. He was very proud of his work as a janitor and the paycheck he earned. He was loved by SO MANY people and was affectionately known as "Glenn Bob's" by his family.

 

There will be a graveside service held at the Cressey Cemetery 10220 Cressey Road Plainwell, MI on Sunday, June 11th at 2:00 pm. There will be a potluck picnic immediately following in honor of Glenn at the Prairieville Township Pine Lake Recreation Park 11481 Doster Rd, Plainwell, MI.
