Born January 4, 1931, in Henderson, TN, to Vivian and Clifford Smith, Glenn spent his young life bailing hay and driving mules. Drafted during the Korean War, he served in Germany driving industrial tractors for road construction. After returning home, he graduated barber college and spent 60 years using his talent to serve naval personnel and civilians. Glenn was unfailingly kind, eternally proud of his family, and provides an example of a life well lived. Well done thou good and faithful servant. Matthew 25:21
