Dear Dr. Glance & Family, We are so sorry for the loss of your father. He was a wonderful man. I met him when I was working in a local doctor’s office in Arden. I so looked forward to seeing him when I knew that he had an appointment with us. So kind. My husband met him at the Candler Post Office. He was so down to earth and easy going. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the entire Glance family. This world was a richer place because of him. May God bless and keep you during your time of sorrow. Fondly, Mike & Darlene Goforth.
Greg and Family,
We are so sorry for your loss
Greg,
I’m very sorry to read about your dad. I was actually pulling my Mom’s obituary up and read about your dad. Greg having gone through this a month ago I can tell you the pain can be unbearable at times. I still have to pull the announcement up to believe. You should be proud knowing that you made your father very proud. I wish you peace at this time.

Greg and family, We have been blessed to have Mr. Roger as our back yard neighbor . Although we have lived here for 12 years, it’s really been the last three years we got to know your Dad. We had the greatest pleasure taking Kenzi up to the pool for her swimming lessons..and Kenzi always said to Gramma…let’s make some cookies for Mr.Roger…even though she liked to steal all the chocolate chips out. We will miss seeing him on the mower where he could be seen quite often. Thanks for sharing with us..Thinking of you in our prayers
Mr. Glance was a true gentleman, in kind, word and deed. He always talked of his family, definitely his greatest source of pride. May he rest in peace with his wonderful wife. We will miss him, as we have missed her. The entire Glance family is in our prayers.
