Glen Walker was a true and loyal friend! I feel proud to have called Glen a friend! He was always proud of his two kids and to those that were close to him, he would give the shirt off his back. I had many fun work trips with Glen and will miss his sarcastic wit! - Posted by: Rob Haglund (Friend) on: Oct 03, 2013
