A tribute written by Babrbara Nichols was read by Helen Bechdel at the Bechdel reunion in July 2005:
Oh, my Uncle Glenn, how he will be missed.
The reasons we loved him, too many to list.
Although time with him was short, he left me great
memories I am pleased to report.
Brother to my Grandma, is how we are related.
She named a son after him, so you know how he rated.
Through tough times, he was at her side.
When I looked at his face, I could see her eyes.
The things he did for me where beyond measure,
letters and poetry I still treasure.
A love for farms and outdoors we did share,
about friends and family he did care.
Don't drink, go to church- he would coach.
A man with character beyond reproach.
A lovely giving wife-so good to me.
Two fine grown sons, his legacy.
Now buried in his beloved farm sod,
we know he's now with our loving God.
Uncle Glenn's love and guidance- special, it's true.
Memories of him, keep them close to you.
