Glen was my uncle. The only uncle on my father's side of the family. I have great memories of summer visits to the Cape, which on one occasion included a fishing trip where we caught numerous blues and strippers. Uncle Glen cooked some up on the grill for us afterward...awesome! I also recall him coming to hunting camp in Pennsylvania with our family. Also great times. These are but a few of my recollections. My uncle may no longer be with us but my fond memories remain...
