Ath the end of WWII, Glenn returned to Nashville to attend Vanderbilt University. After meeting the lovely Georgia, he left the University to work for McKesson & Robbins as a pharmaceutical salesman for 15 years. After leaving McKesson, Glenn found his dream job with Merrill Lynch where he thrived as an account executive and eventually became a vice president. He reluctantly retired at the age of 70. After retirement, Glenn took up trap shooting winning many awards. He was a member of the Nashville Gun Club and the Okoboji Indians, a shooting group formed in 1898, his name was Chief Ticker Tape. Glenn, being a true extrovert, lived life full of energy and at a non-stop pace. He enjoyed his farm in Williamson County and loved having his family gather there. We knew where to find him every weekend and it was usually on his tractor. Visitation will be 10:00AM – 12:00 Noon Saturday, April 13, 2024 at Williamson Memorial Funeral Home.
