Glenn served in the US Army, then worked for Stackhouse as a top-notch lineman for many years, and eventually retired with the Town of Benson. He had a soft spot for horses, rodeos, and the cowboy lifestyle, but above all, he treasured his family, especially his grandkids. Without fail, he attended the Benson Gospel sing each year, a tradition close to his heart.

Glenn is survived by his daughter, Sharessa Pope (Shelton); grandchildren, Savannah Gregory (John) and Dalton Pope (Briana); great-grandchildren, Riley Sloan, James Gregory, and Easton Pope; sister, Joyce Stephens (Pete), and several nieces and nephews.
