Thoughts from John Tobin, a longtime friend of Glenn, posted previously on Facebook.

John Tobin and Glenn Bennett, Jr

For every picture there is usually a story and this one is no

exception…..got a call from my pedigree buddy Seagrave delivery man one

summer. He said JOHN can you come and help me….I’m in the maintenance pull

off on the Dan Ryan in downtown Chicago and I’m broke down…..I was like

Seagraves never break down and he laughed….the rig had developed an air

leak and he knew who to call…..so I jumped in the Suburban picked up the

parts that we needed and I was on my way. About 90 minutes later I arrived

and bing we got lucky and I had the right part. Glenn with the big smile and

bubbly personality was up and running, headed to New Jersey. Glenn always

was the biggest ambassador for SFA and his efforts should never be

forgotten. Please take a moment to think of Glenn, or drop him a line

wishing him well as he continues to struggle with what life thru at

him……..my thought for today.
