Tributes
"I knew "Grandpa Remington" through his granddaughter Lily. Many times when I would go to Lily's house, Lily and I would go and visit Grandpa and Grandma next door. We'd talk for a while and Grandpa would always make us smile. I loved seeing how happy and proud Lily made him. Grandpa Glenn will be missed. He was a sweet man."
