Glen was born on March 15, 1921 in Saskatchewan, Canada to Albert G. and Louise Ida

During the building slump of the 1970s, he took a retirement job at St. Luke’s Hospital which lasted twenty years. He provided occupational training and mentorship for several members of the next generation of plastering contractors. Glen was also a founding member of St. Pius X Parish in Cedar Rapids.
