  • Melisa Bennett: I first met Glen in 1994. I was 15 years old. I wanted auto insurance & being 15, I had like a zillion questions for him. I had just left numberous other insurance agencies, as they all treated me like my parents needed to ask the questions, even though I had started by telling them that my dad sent me to find insurance for myself & he would come in to sign when he was needed. Glen never hesitated to treat me just like any other customer. He took the time to explain coverages & I truely felt that he cared. I chose him as my agent that day. Over the next 16 years he was always a friend. When he had cancer I prayed for him & his family. I was so glad to see him get better. He was always in a happy-go-lucky mood when he saw me, even if he looked a little involved before he noticed I was there (normally to make a payment). He made me bring in my little one's which was so nice, because normally offices have you feeling like its not a place for kids. Glen, you were a great man & a great friend & one of the most genuine people I've ever had the pleasure to know! Words cant express my sadness that you are gone. May God wrap his arms around you & your family! Until another day my friend....

  • Jean Paschke: I've known Glen and Tammy for many years - first meeting them when Jeff was a little boy in my classroom. Glen was always so friendly and upbeat, and anxious to hear about how his kids were doing in class. He so clearly loved his children with all of his heart. It was always fun to run into Glen around town - a big smile and friendly conversation was a given and of course, an update on how his family was doing. Glen will be missed by so many. His children are fortunate to have had such a loving father.

  • Teresa Miller: Dear Tammy & Family
    We were so shocked & saddened to hear of Glen's passing. We have so many fond memories of you both...from the time you were watching our daughters when I started back to work full time ...and then later in life when Glen was our insurance agent. We will always remember his BIG HUGS...our daughters remember as little girls how he would carry them around while you were watching them. Such a great view for little girls to be carried by such a big man. You both always had such huge hearts, we love you and if there is anything we can do please call us! Our thoughts & prayers are with you.

  • Jenea DeQuasie: My family and I had the pleasure of meeting Glen for the first time last summer while searching for insurance for our home and boat. We made the trip from Polson to Kalispell to pay for our insurance. After one minute in Glen's office, we were all fast friends; he was such a kind and upbeat geneleman who was also very professional. He was the type of person who took care of his business and his clients. While visiting with Glen he was telling us about his children and about his daughters and their success in sports-you could tell he loved his family and was very proud. What a sweet, kind man. We are so sorry for your loss and our prayers will be with you. Take care of each other- the day we left his office, we were looking forward to working with him for many years, now that is not to be; you just never know what the next day or year will bring. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless you, Glen. You were a fantastic person.

    Love and prayers,
    Bill & Margaret Kobobel
