Glenn was a good friend of my daughter, Blythe, when I first met him about 13 years ago. He was an affable man who was always cheerful and willing to lend a hand. I don’t think I ever spoke to Glenny without his thanking me for my service in the US Navy during Vietnam. It meant a lot to me that Glenny was a good friend to Blythe when she needed one. I also enjoyed going to hear him play and sing with his band—music was so obviously his passion. He will be missed!

I met Glenny 25 years ago through a mutual friend. We shared commonalities, the love of crystals and music, so many wonderful hobbies Glenny had to share. I saw him play live with his band Robot Wife, he had the place hopping.
His love of music is so hart felt to me and many who knew him.
He would always rip it up on stage and what beautiful songs he wrote in his short life here.
We reunited a few years ago. He came into my business and we immediately broke out in song to American Girl. I'm a singer to so we knew all the lyrics and sang aloud for all to hear. We got though almost the whole song :)

I went to a rehearsal with his new band after that, we harmonized beautifully and had a blast! He then gave me a Van Morrison song book shortly after that. I took that to mean I should perfect a song I do, Moondance and work on other songs in the book too. We were going to work on original songs together before he got sick.
My condolences to his wife Debbie and Family... I will remember you always. You are an inspiration to all and you will be truly missed...

I met Glenn when I was attending SDSU in the eighties and although I did not keep in touch with him after graduating, he left a lasting impression on me. He had strong beliefs, was grounded and was always enjoyable to hang out with. I knew that Glenn was a Christian and was happy to hear that he continued to believe until the end. I will always remember our discussions about Yasser Arafat, the PLO and Israel ongoing conflict along with other current worldly events. He was never afraid to engage one in conversation about politics and religion.  I will always carry his free going spirit, kindness, gentle heart and positive words with me. Until again when I meet you in the great heavenly house above, miss you bud and nothing but love from my family to your family and dearest friends. Be strong and kind as Glenn would want all of us to be.

Glenn is such a special person to us!  Upon moving to the neighborhood, he welcomed us each day with a smile and made us feel like family! He called our girls his God Daughters, and to them, he was an uncle. Glenn never missed a birthday or holiday. He would hand deliver the most meaningful card with a special drawing, a gift (mostly crystals which our girls love) and a loving hug! 

Glenn was a brother to Sam and would come hang for awhile, have a shot and tell the most amazing stories! 
We love you Glenn and miss you dearly! We will see you soon in heaven buddy! Until then, keep smiling and passing along your contageous amazing attitude! Halloween will not be the same without you, but we know you are dressing up, up there in heaven!

My dear Glen, the world is a much less interesting place without you in it. You always said I was your favorite cousin and I am dead sure you said the same to all of us. I had hoped and prayed for a different outcome to your illness but I know Heaven is celebrating your homecoming. I have never known anyone filled with so much love and forgiveness for anyone and everyone. We were all blessed to have known you. Rest well dear cousin!

Cousin Glen, probably the most uniquely outgoing and eccentric member of my family on either side. Vibrant, passionate, joyous, entertaining, talented, and caring. It was a pleasure to be in his presence.

When we were kids, he seemed more like an uncle than a cousin because he was 20 years older. But regardless of the age difference it was easy to connect with him. My brother Lee and I always enjoyed our visits. We didn’t get to see him much since he lived on the opposite side of the country but when we did it was a treat. He joked and teased and entertained. He talked different from the rest of us (his Alabama relatives) and that was interesting and refreshing. And he loved to feast. You never went hungry for long in his house.

As an adult I had the pleasure of staying with him for several days - nearly a week as I recall. He enlightened me and my friend Mike in the ways of Crowley, magic, visualization and manifestation and the power of crystals. He introduced us to Kozmo Barnes (in person) the eccentric artist and publisher.

Glen wanted to expand our minds, artistic spirit and our spiritual awareness. And he did. I remember feeling more conscious, more grateful, and more alive after our stay with him.

Sadly we did not keep in touch very well in the following years. We lived our lives on opposite sides of the country and I regret not making the effort to see him more. Still I consider myself blessed for the time I did get to spend with him and for having known him. He unforgettable and will live on forever in our memories.

See you in Heaven Cuz

I met Glenn in 1991 working at Costco. He was the most loving,caring person that anyone could ever know. I loved the way he would make-up songs with my name in it when I would be his “bagger” he would pretend he was playing his guitar or drums all the time. When I left in 2016 to retire he gave me the best hug ever and said COME BACK TO SEE ME YOU BEAUTIFUL LADY. Glenn you will be missed by so many. I know you will be singing up there in heaven

Glen, I'll always remember your squinty eye smile. I love you and miss you. Our paths crossed 32 years ago. I will always treasure those times we had to share, whether it was sitting next to each other in the break room, (while we both relished our food), or back to back cashiering with you, ( we'd get a song in our head and bust out singing it together), not to mention the concerts we went to together, ( we were the ones on the stage).
I love you Glenny, and look forward to sharing the heavens with you! Peace out my brother ❤

What can I say that hasn’t already been said about this extraordinary man and person, Glenny was unique, clever, complex at times, strong, sincere, wise beyond his years. I became friends with Glenn at Costco 20 years ago, he made everyday and adventure and light hearted, we sang we joked we enjoyed great times that I will think of fondly, the last few weeks we made plans to go see a Chargers game at the new stadium, even though he was a Rams Fan he’d say I’ll go anywhere as long as we can be together, a week before his passing he said dear one I don’t think I’m going to make it to the stadium but I’ll be with you when you go ok, we both were overcome with emotion. He was such a loving caring person and always know Glenny I’ll keep the memories of you alive and well and puppy Luke Chandler will as well, he’s named after and amazing angels, until we meet again Michele Out!!

Glen was many things to many people. He was my cousin (our fathers were brothers) with great memories dating back to our earliest childhood years. However, he was much more than just a cousin, he was a beloved friend and brother. He was also a great son to his wonderful parents, a loving brother to his sweet sister Nancy, a close friend to many, many others, and of course, a devoted husband to his incredible wife Debbie. 

He was, among other things, an artist, a singer, a poet, a comedian, a coin collector, a gun enthusiast, and a lover of history (especially Civil War tales).

He had a smile and a sense of humor that could light up any room. It was always a joyous occasion whenever our California cousins could visit us back in Alabama. My brother Alan, Glen, Nancy and myself always had an awesome time together as kids. The same later on when my wife and sons came along. There were trips to the beach, site seeing, chowing down together on some good grub (like BBQ, seafood, watermelon, and of course homemade ice cream) or just hanging out with the old folks and hearing their tales from way back in the days growing up together in Millport, Alabama.

The world feels different now that he has been called home, but Glen’s life will live on forever in the hearts and minds of all of us who knew and loved him. Rest well buddy, we will all meet again someday just a little further down the road.

Glenn was my husband’s (Richard Chandler) first cousin. I met Glenn in Mobile, AL when Ricky and I were dating in high school in the mid 70’s. We would hang out with Alan (Ricky’s brother, now deceased) and drive to the beautiful gulf beaches of Gulf Shores or Dauphin Island. Sometimes, we would hang out by the pool at Alan’s apartment. The guys loved doing “cannonballs “ in the pool and joke about being floating turds. Sometimes, we would share delicious meals made for us by Ricky’s mom, Lee. We also would sit around eating watermelon with Ricky’s dad (called Uncle Brub by Glenn) spitting seeds at each other and laughing our fool heads off. We always laughed a lot. I was a little taken aback by Glenn’s California gregarious ways. But, he always cracked us up with his off color jokes and songs. He was his own crazy character and never apologized for it. He loved to make people smile or laugh. We didn’t get to see him as often as we should have, but every phone call was a treat. We will miss him.

Met Glenn way back in the early 80s. What a character. Seemed like we were always making plans to hang out & have fun. I was new to San Diego. Glenn knew every nook and cranny of SD. We had fun times for sure. With Glenns recommendation (which I think sealed the deal) he helped me get I job that I really enjoyed.
Glenn had the dearest parents. A house full of so much love. They were so nice, that Glenn never moved away his Momma. It's no wonder how he became such a caring person.

What i will always remember about Glenn is that in 1990 I moved away from SD & back to SF. Often friendships can fade away, the way they can. Glenn & I have always stayed in touch. Always remained great friends. He always made me feel like I was a special friend and I'm sure they're are many others who can attest to the same.
Miss you buddy, can't believe your gone. Cancer took our friend way too early in life. Glenn fought Cancer so hard. I don't know anyone who fought harder to stay with us. RIP Glenn
Remember the good times not these sad times. Remember the great friend were lucky to have called our friend.

Cheers —-to Glen my brother from another mother—-I won’t ever forget the many memories we had together—-like when you took me to Adobe falls at night and shut of the flashlight—I was so lost and mad but you love a good prank and I needed a couple days off from work because of my twisted ankle which I enjoyed —-or the time you pretended to be a woman from church and inviting your dad over for dinner —-Infact I have that on tape so I’ll try to post it —-miss your smile and great appetite—-food a favorite of ours—-hugs to heaven —aloha—I love you
