Glen Gibson

Born December 18, 1940 in Denmark, SC, he was a son of the late Ruby & Juanita Gibson. Glen grew up in a loving Christian home working on the family farm doing chores like feeding the hogs and milking the cows. Following graduation from Denmark "Dane" High School, Glen furthered his education at Clemson University. He began his career with AT&T, Southern Bell and Lucent Technologies before establishing his own business as Tallwood Communications in 1990. He was proud to serve in the U.S. Army Reserves from 1959 until 1962. He was a "true" patriot and loved his country dearly. Glen was a loving husband, father, grandfather, friend and everyone loved him.
