DISPOSITION of ASHES:
Lee Mitchell writes --- "I had two Memorial Services for Glenn. The first was in FL where we made many great friends. I scattered part of his ashes in the Ocean per his request. The second service was in Ashland, VA, where he was born. I placed some ashes at the foot of the flagpole at the new Ashland Volunteer Fire Department. That was where he started his career in firefighting. His son took the rest of the ashes and placed them at the foot of a beautiful waterfall in Alaska. Prior to his death Glenn commented that he was a lucky man. He said the only thing he didn't do on his Bucket List was go to Alaska. By taking the ashes to Alaska, Glenn's Bucket List was complete. He was a wonderful man and is missed by all."
