Glenn enjoyed travel, the outdoors, fishing and hunting. Camping was high on Glenn’s list and enjoyed many years of camping with his family and the Boy Scouts. There were a lot of good times around the campfire with family and good life-long friends.

Bruce, I was so sorry to read about your father’s passing in today’s paper (1/31 D&C). I also learned of your mother’s passing this past summer. I apologize for missing that when it happened. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this dark time. Take care and may we get together with the guys again soon. Bob G.
So sorry to hear of your dads passing . Such a wonderful man. Always enjoyed talking to him and your mom at church. My thoughts and prayers to all of you.
Sandy, So sorry to have read about your dad’s passing. Your Mom is waiting for him with open arms. My condolences to you and your family.
I started a thirty-two year career at Xerox in 1976, working for Pete Miller in Glenn’s financial analysis, planning and control group. Our backgrounds in the Air Force and Army respectively put us on a common footing from day one. Glenn’s level headed, easy going manner and sense of humor made going to work every day a pleasure. It was truly an honor and a privilege to know the gentleman from “Cuse. God Bless Glenn, Iris and the entire Leet family.
My condolences to the Leet family on Glen’s passing. I worked indirectly with Glen Leet while I was at Xerox. I was in finance and had to get information from him. I always enjoyed talking to him about my dad in the Air Force in WWII, and growing up Lutheran, teaching in a Lutheran high school.. He was such a warm man and great to talk to. May his memories be a blessing.
