Glenn was a hard worker all his life. He learned at an early age to farm with horses and worked for local farmers when not in school. Glenn graduated in 1950 from Chambersburg Area Senior High School while enrolled in the Vo-Tech program where he developed his interest in working with steel.
He was a Staff Sergeant in the Air Force from 1950-1954. After leaving the Air Force, he then settled in the Covington, Indiana, area where he was co-owner of Steel Craft Products, Inc. for over 25 years. His company was instrumental in the fabrication of the bleachers for the Covington Trojan complex, a multi-sports facility for the local Covington High School. He volunteered many hours during the summer of 1976 when this facility was built.
He traveled with the Renee Biesecker Evangelistic Ministry from 1980-1984.
Moving to Oklahoma in 1984, Glenn started his own construction company, B & B Construction, and worked for many years remodeling Arby's Restaurants in the Oklahoma City area, before retiring in 2001. After retiring, Glenn and Renee moved to Lake Eufaula, Oklahoma, where he enjoyed many years of fishing and spending time with his children and grandchildren. Other hobbies through the years included hunting, snowmobiling, and mushroom hunting.
