Glenn and Shirley have been long time members of the Nelson United Methodist Church. From the age of 15 through 88 he was a bricklayer, many of those years working for Boettcher Masonry. During his time as a bricklayer and stonemason he helped build many significant buildings which included their own home of 57 years. Glenn also enjoyed running, which continued on into his seventies.
