Glen was so many different things. A son. A civil servant. A proud member of the Spare Me bowling team. Two time runner-up at the Southern Regional Tournament. And a great, truly tracker. But he was a lot more than that. Glen was infuriating, insulting, just so maddening. He was a hedonist, a chauvinist, a liar and a cheat. But there was one thing Glen was not. And that's afraid. Glen was not afraid. He wasn't afraid of judgment. Of being wrong. He wasn't afraid of friendship. Or romance. A bad joke. A good laugh. He was never afraid of a good time. Or bad timing. Or consequences. Or of an impossible task. Or any kind of danger.
No matter how hard or unfair life was to Glen, Glen loved life back. He embraced it without reservation, regret or remorse. And that is rare. I wish more people were unafraid like Glen.
