Glenn had many jobs, most recently working as a bartender at the Army and Navy and was always ready to lend an ear.
In earlier years he was a member of 35 Sydney Service Battalion and was still an active member of the Army and Navy and New Waterford legion.
He enjoyed fishing and going for long drives, was an animal lover and will be missed by his pal ‘Buddy,’ the cat.

Besides his father, he was also predeceased by brother, Bradley.
