It's always sad when a collector leaves us. I'd met Glen several times at Dixie and the Evansville shows. We always talked "pumps", and he always had his trailer full of them. My condolences to the family.

Condolences to the family. I'm sure he enjoyed his time on this earth and hopefully he is in a place that can fill the void of the petro hobby. Ted ------------------ Ted Pam & Ethyl Roach Lodi CA. Home of Roach & Darnell Texaco 1952 -1963 & Richfield Arco 1963 - 1972 pca-west.org vintage-logos

Although I did not know Glen...my prayers are with his Family during this tough time. I am sure he is enjoying his petro paradise on the other side as much as he did on this one.

Sorry to hear of his passsing.
Missed him at the last few I.G. shows. He always had a nice selection of rare [& expensive] pumps on his trailer for show/sale.
I'll miss him.

Although I didn't know him I always seemed to photograph a trailer load of his nice pumps at a few shows. Sorry to hear of this loss.

Glen will be missed, the loss of someone in the "Club" as he called it is always hard. I knew Glen for many years and he was one of my BEST friends in the hobby. We talked all the time about the "gossip" going on. I know the place he is at now is much better than where he was. Glen suffered for almost a year, so I know he is resting now. Prayers go out from the Cherry family.

DITTO, to all of the above comments, especially what you had to say Cheese. We met Glenn at many of the gas shows years ago, always enjoyed talking with him. He started doing our INDIANA GAS SHOW when it started, only missed one, and that was because he became ill. He tagged Dave and I as: Par 1, and Par 2, always would say that when he would see us. I (Linda) was always Par 1 when Dave wasn't around, LOL, Thanks to Glenn for many good talks and times at all the shows. Love and Prayers to the family. Dave and Linda

Cheese, I wish I could have met him. Never did. So many places you're not allowed to have opinions or 'call em as you see 'em' Happy Trails Glenn Larry
