Glen Cole

Hi Gary,

Growing up across the street from the Gartner family is one of my favorite memories of Lanark Lane. Especially I remember the day that Glen came home from the hospital. Mom and I came across the street to meet the new baby and you can imagine how excited I was to hear her name was Glen. I was only eight years old at the time. Or soon to be five days later. At that time in my life, you were running around the neighborhood with David and Douglas. You were the older brother, but I was more interested in your little sister, for sure.

Then we all moved out to Willowend. My memories at that time were hanging out with Glen, and having meals with her amazing older brothers; Don, Harvey and you…. we did have fun didn’t we?

But, I have to say my fondest memory of you is when you began working with Dad at the Hallmark. You were his right hand man. He was so dependent on you for so many things, and I can’t thank you enough for that. And as he aged, and I started to worry more about him, you were the person I would call to get information and comfort. Just hearing your voice made things so much better.

I sent you so much love…. The first Glen 😘
