Upon military retirement, he worked for the Utilities Department of Tullahoma before retiring from there in 2002. Glen possessed a sharp intellect, quick wit, and a strong sense of duty. He was dedicated to helping people break through their self-imposed limits and achieve more than they thought possible, unlocking their full potential. Whether as a Drill Sergeant, NCO instructor for ROTC Cadets, or a mentor to his children and grandchildren, Glen consistently encouraged others to grow and excel.

Glen found joy in outdoor activities such as hunting, fishing, and golf, but especially loved working in the vegetable garden with his late father.
