From times with Auntie Joan (Hamilton) at Chermside, and connections with Cooroy, I've so appreciated Glenn's caring and gentle approach to life, which always showed in his humble preaching. The display of God's Presence was real. Also his great skills in making videos of all sorts.
Blessings of God's good Comfort and Strength during these precious days, Helen.
Glenn once told a story about a man hanging around the church . Glenn assumed the man only wanted a cash handout and Glenn very busy at the time gave the man $20. The walked off then turned and said to Glenn . You know you know people sometimes don't just want a handout they also want people to have time for them and to listen. I think this is how the story went. It meant a lot to me and I've tried to live by this . Glenn was a wonderful example of how God wants us to live our lives. Giving time and seeing the innocent in everyone.
I always remembered standing in the car park at CKCC after a church council meeting talking to Glenn about anything and everything from church related topics to world events. I always enjoyed the two way communication. Sometimes we would still be standing there talking at 11.30 pm, 2 hours after the church council meeting had finished.
I especially remember Glenn speaking at Gwen Ray's Celebration of Life service in September 2025. He said how calm yet certain Gwen was of where she was heading and whom she would finally meet - Paradise was waiting. My husband Ken and I were privileged to be guided by Col and Gwen at many Central Queensland Methodist Church camps and we kept in touch always with the Ray Family. We visited Gwen during her palliative care stage and witnessed her calmness and knowledge that she would meet the Lord. Glen had visited Gwen also and communicated to everyone who heard Gwen's Celebration Service in such a loving and understanding way that: "knowing where you are going is a wonderful state to be!". Glenn was a great communicator in a humble and loving way.
