OBITUARY Walter Glynn
Pettijohn
Known as Glynn to his family. Glynn was described perfectly at his
funeral, "he never met a stranger". That sums him up. Glynn was always going
somewhere and meeting everyone. The best memory I have of him as a child is
Glynn playing game after game of 42 at our family get togethers. I know if you
every needed a cup of coffee, he'd be happy to show you to the best cafe in
town.
