After a few winters of snow birding in Florida they decided to make Country Aire Village in Zephyrhills, Florida their permanent home. They resided there several years until this past March when they came home to Michigan because of Glenn's' Alzheimer's. He truly loved CAV park and the many friends they made there.

Glenn and Beth really enjoyed life and found fun where ever they were. Family and friends were important to him and he was always surrounded by them and enjoying their company. His favorite past-times included snowmobiling, motorcycling, and traveling the world.  He and Beth toured the United States on their Honda Goldwing and loved every minute of it. He was also an avid golfer and a world class dancer.
