I am so sad to hear of Glenn's passing. He was a wonderful godparent to me and a treasured part of my childhood. Mary - without any extended family in Midland while I was growing up, I really did feel that you and Glenn were my family. I always looked forward to being in your home. I don't know how Glenn actually felt about the rest of your students, but he made me feel so particularly special by the way he would show up "for me" at every piano recital. It mean so much to me that you two made the trek to my wedding in 2012.

Glenn's warmth and kind spirit will be missed in this world. Sending you and the family love, Mary. May you find peace even in this time of mourning.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Glenn's passing. I was not aware that he'd been ill for the last two years which only makes me wish I had kept in better contact.
I had the distinct pleasure of working with Glenn for several years. For those who never had that opportunity, they could not know what an outstanding manager he was. Glenn had a unique gift: as a manager, he was both well respected and well liked. This is rare in that it seems manager's have to be one or the other. He was well respected because of his knowledge, his work ethic and his insistence on always taking the high road and doing what's right. He was well liked because he was always fair, inspiring, had his colleagues best interest in mind and always cared and encouraged his people to do their best. He made it easy to come to work.
He set a high bar as a husband, father and friend. His family was always his priority, and his work and service in the communities he lived, always appreciated his help and dedication. There is no doubt this world is a better place because Glenn was part of it. He will be greatly missed.
I have grieved for the Pietenpol family before, and I grieve for them again.

I was saddened to hear of Mr. Pietenpol's passing. I was so happy he came to the Sparta Class of 1968 50th reunion in August 2018. I had Mr. Pietenpol as my teacher in chemistry and algebra. He started teaching at Sparta my freshman year. He was one of my favorite teachers. I probably wasn't one of his favorite students, as I remember numerous occasions where I frustrated him! I remember riding on buses to athletic events where he was a chaperone. He taught us many folk songs during the trips.

Mary, speaking for many of my classmates, we're so sorry for your loss. He was a wonderful man
