Glenn graduated from the University of Illinois with a degree in Engineering.  He taught Physics and Astronomy at Wright College for over 30 years.  Glenn made many long-time friends at Wright College including Jim Sichta, Ed Randell, Ronald Geni, and Rose and Lars Oknark.   Glenn spent the first half of his life as a bachelor, living in Brookfield, Willowbrook and Oakbrook, Illinois which is where he connected with his wife Becky Hudrlik.  He loved German Shepards and had at least three:  Vicky, Amber, and Heidi. 

Glenn was extremely close with his brother LeRoy all the years of their lives.  Glenn would go over to Roy’s house at Drexel and Mockingbird at least 4 times a week.  They would play dice, poker, or pinochle, have a couple of drinks and dinner.  Glenn loved skiing, tennis, watching boxing and being outdoors.
