He graduated from Granton High School in 1950 and went on to serve during the Korean war and was honorably discharged in February of 1955 earning the rank of Corporal. Glenn was married to Beverly (Koutz) who proceeded him in death, July 22, 1996. In Glenn's younger days he enjoyed playing softball. Later in life he enjoyed playing cards and a good pool game. Glenn was very passionate about cars and trucks; of all the vehicles he had over the years his favorites were his 1968 Pontiac Grand Prix and then various Lincoln's. He was an avid Green Bay Packer and Milwaukee Brewer fan as well.

Glenn began working for the Chicago Northwestern Railroad in 1967 as a Freight Car Repairer. Following the death of his father-in-law Leslie Bergstrom, Glenn and Beverly went into business in 1972 and owned several service stations in the Green Bay area. He then bought a service station that he and his son Darrell later moved from the corner of Broadway and Dousman and reconstructed on their Ledgeview property, which is still the location of Glenn's 24HR Towing today.

He was proud of being promoted to dispatcher where he kept the drivers organized, the busses running efficiently and on time until his retirement. After retirement Glenn moved back to Green Bay in 1998 with his friend and roommate Bill Charleton.
