To The Coble Family
It has been my honor to serve with Jill in PASH. Jill's outstanding work and contributions are a tribute to her family. My prayers and thoughts are with you as a precious life has passed from our sight but will be forever in our hearts.
With sympathy,
Marjorie Saibara
so sorry to hear about Glenn..he was a favorite of mine..we are out of state right now but I send our love and prayers to your family..love Craig & Sheri Lampson...God bless your entire family
To Jill, Van and the Coble family, my thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. I became "reacquainted" with Glenn in 1993. I had attended a funeral in Eureka and Glenn was there also. His wife had passed away earlier. Eventually, we became a "twosome" and I would drive over to Moline and go dancing at Altoona and other towns around. We had many great times together going to lots of different small town events and thoroughly enjoyed each others company. Since 2014, our health diminished, and neither of us could drive to see each other anymore. So, we haven't been together much but visited on the phone often. He was a great guy and companion, and has been very important to me for many years. I will miss him very much.

To the Coble family, my sincere sympathy and prayers for you. Some I haven't seen since I was a child like Lorene when you lived neighbors to us. All of you have been good friends through the years. So very sorry for your loss and may God's blessings, comfort and promise of peace be with each of you. Florene Edwards Smith
I am so sorry to read about this. Van and Jill my thoughts and prayers are with you and your families at this time. I bummed many a ride with your parents to ballgames when you and my boys were playing. Irene Scheuerman
We extend our most sincere sympathy to the Glenn Coble family. Having met Glenn through his friendship with my Aunt Sharon, we've had the pleasure of his company at numerous family events for several years. We've always admired his tenacity and competence caring for his farms and properties which he continued into a ripe old age. He and my husband, Reed, could talk school board lingo for hours nonstop. His amazing Elk County memories and recollections were always entertaining. His knowledge of everything infinite. Glenn was a very kind soul and a caring presence for his friends and family. That presence will remain in our hearts forever.
Kindest regards,
Reed & Peggy Harrison, Andover, KS

Our deepest and most sincere sympathy-David has enjoyed visiting with Glenn over the last fifteen years or so, in Moline and at the assisted living locations in Howard and Sedan. His stories and recollections of days past in Elk County, many of which included our ancestors, were unique and entertaining. We also much appreciated his hospitality on many occasions, especially his permission to fish the 'strip pits' near Moline. He and our cousin Sharon had also visited us at our Colorado home. The enjoyment of our future visits to our home state of Kansas will be considerably lessened by his absence.
We have made a memorial contribution to the Moline United Methodist Church in Glenn's name.
With kind regards,
Sally and David Bone, Woodland Park, Colorado.
Glenn was always a great neighbor and friend. After our house fire in 2000, Glenn stopped in several times to help out, and his generosity was really appreciated. The Cook Family
