Cory and Sutherland family,
My condolences to you Cory and the entire Sutherland family.
I was shocked and saddened to learn of Glenn’s death. He was my classmate, teammate, roommate, and friend.
We grew up in an interesting time and experienced much together. Four green small town kids headed south in 1966 to live together and attend KU. Something I will always remember: When we were at KU, Glenn slept in the lower bunk and I was in the upper. Often his nervous legs would shake the entire bunk and I would consistently threaten to strangle him if he didn’t stop.
We communicated little over the last several years, but I thought of him often. He was a genuinely good person; may he rest in peace.
