He married Judy Amberger September 8, 1990 at St. Mary’s of the Rock Church. He was a driver for UPS 28 years and a member of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local #135.
Glen didn’t know a stranger. He was a people person who brought out the best in others. He treated everyone with respect and would always have a compliment for women. Judy teased that he fancied himself a ladies’ man. He loved having people at the house and entertaining. According to his family, Glen liked to golf, go dancing, was a Colts fan, listen to hard rock music and a cold Busch Light now and again wasn’t a bad thing. He also enjoyed working on cars as well and buying and selling them. Many will remember his distinctive laugh and the countless events he fried chicken for.
Glen is survived by wife Judy; sons Alex and Trevor of Batesville; mother Della Smith; sister and brother in law Belinda and Bob Harris; brothers and sister in laws Michael and Cathy Smith, Kenneth and Andi Smith and Philip and Jennifer Smith, all of Friendship, Indiana. He is preceded in death by his father.
