As I wake this morning my hart goes out to my wife, sons and to all of Glen Francis friends and his great family[-o<
I was blest to have such a great man in my life and in my families life for 27 years.. Glen and I shared many days at the track planting trees with my sons when they was just 6 and 8 years old, this track holds many memories for me and my family.. R.I.P my friend and thank you for all the great memories you and your family put in our life :pale:
Some of you have seen my days and memories made at this 27 year old track that was just 7 miles from my home.
http://www.crraceway.com/ This is going to hit so so many people and friends here , Prayers for strength to the family and friends, Yes, that is a mouton of a man in the red shirt.

What a great man that gave everyone the time of day and wave as he passed by in town with a big smile. We have lost a great man

So true, there will never be another, Blest am I to have had him in my life for many years.
 
My Condolences and prayers to family and friends.
 
Condolences and prayers go out to you, your family, and your friends family and all who knew him. Sounds like not only the racing community, but the entire community lost a great guy.
The good ones are always lost way too soon.

Thank you Snake, Glen watched my sons grow and always helped keeping a close eye on them and our cars.. there is not very many folks that can make a dirt track last 27 years and keep going strong, that alone shows he was a good operator and friendly doing it.
