Dear Jan,
All the girls in high school had a crush on your dad. He used to deliver the morning paper and my dad made me go pick it up (curlers, bath robe and all). I was so afraid he would see me like that I would hide behind a big tree and wait for him to leave. I could tell you a few other things but..... We became good friends when he and I got older. He was great. We will all miss him as he was very special.
Much love,
Dale and Cal
Dear Jan and Rich,
After reading the many stories I realized that Mopsy and Popsy were special to not only our family but so many others as well. Glenn Dale was one of those rare people that had the ability to draw people to him - he was warm, compasionate with a heart of gold and a wicked sense of humor.
Joyce and I recall all the memories captured so well in Tom Brown's story except Mopsy and Popsy took us into their lives a few years earlier when I went to work for DuPont in June 1969. The Briarfield West apartments in Victoria, the evening gathering around the swimming pool, the "Monster" refrigeration system in the mall across the street ( and the empty drum of used chemicals that we made a BBQ grill from), Fossati's, jump suits, that miracle repair stuff called duct tape, Wimberly, the fifth wheel (sardines in the hub caps) and the time they visited us in PA and stayed in the camper, --- yes so many. many wonderful memories. Your father brought a lot of happiness to so many people.
We were very fortunate that Mopsy and Popsy adopted us and that we had them in our lives. Some of the very fondest memories that we and our children have are times we spent with Mopsy and Popsy.
Our love and thoughts are with you and your family.

Uncle Glenn was a true American hero who fought for our freedom. He carried physical evidence of his sacrifice for this country the rest of his days.
I remember Uncle Glenn always wearing his jumpsuits.
When I was little he called me his "little meskin" because I would get so dark in the summer.
Uncle Glenn will be missed.
Love, Cindy
