May you rest peacefully and build the heavens a wonderful palace with all your skill. I appreciate all the life lessons and I am sorry for picking the fruit from your garden when I was a kid! Love, Glenn

I only knew Mr. Hurry recently from the time I started at Beltone. I loved talking to him and getting to know him. He is a great guy. I am really sad today to know that he wont be coming in to talk to me. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
