Glenn passed last Thursday. Arrangements are on hold till Glenn's out of country brother can make it.

The man was a pure genius when it came to porting heads and intakes. I remember when I brought my first set of hand ported Gen 3 Hemi heads for him to flow check. I never asked him to, but he did his own magic and touched them up free of charge . My ports then looked like a work of art that only like Glenn could do. Later on when I brought him in a Gen 3 MP intake for port work, he quoted me $250. I said no problem. When I went to pick it up, all he asked for was $50 and said the rest of the balance was for R&D and thanked me for letting him have the first chance to work on these new Hemi's.

The man will be truely missed, espeically in my heart

RIP Glenn
