The family moved to Pauls Valley in 1960 where Glenn entered his sophomore year at Pauls Valley High School. Well-liked and well-respected, Glenn was involved in all sports and excelled in academics. Glenn furthered his education at the University of East Central where he received his B.A. degree in 1967. He continued to expand his expertise by obtaining his Securities License (Series 7, 22, 63 & 65) . Before expanding into the Securities business, Glenn was owner & operator for Agnew and Smartt Clothing in Ardmore, Oklahoma (the largest men and women’s clothing store between Oklahoma City & Dallas at that time). Taking advantange of business opportunities, Glenn then made his way up the ladder of success beginning with Valmont Oil Field Products, Little Deutag Drilling Company, finally becoming Vice- President of Merrico Oil & Gas Investment Company. These experiences created the basis for Glenn’s interest in real estate investment trusts where he excelled as Vice-President of The Myers Group, Southmark/Envicon of New York, Inland Investments of Oak Brook, Illinois, Triple Net Properties of Santa Ana, California, Cole Companies of Phoenix, Arizona, and Netreit Real Estate Companies of Escondido, California, and Arciterra of Phoenix, Az. Although working from ocean to ocean within the boundaries of the United States, his home was Pauls Valley where he married the love of his life, Pamala Bridges Patterson, on February 18, 1984. Along with raising their family, Glenn was an integral part of the First United Methodist church where he held numerous offices on various boards. Glenn was also active within the community as a member of the Kiwanis club, on the Park and Recreation Board for several years, and a 32nd degree Mason. Glenn’s passions included history, reading, OU football, music, cars, BUT for all who knew Glenn, it was easy to see the greatest joy and happiness was as a husband and father. He and Pam dated in High School but reunited later at a High School Reunion. They have been nicknamed as a “love team”! He adored their children, Brian Patterson of Pauls Valley, Nicole Lackey and her husband Curtiss of Luther, Sara Smith of Ardmore, and Richard D. Agnew and his wife Brandy of Austin, Texas. The twinkle in Glenn’s eye revolved around his grandchildren Chase, Conner, & Teryn Patterson of Pauls Valley, Tristan Patterson, Douglas-Ann Smith of Ardmore, Stratton, Jacob & Scarlett Lackey of Luther, and Cruz, Stella, & Van Agnew of Austin, Texas. Glenn’s close family members include a sister, Wilma Agnew Jones and her husband Wilton of Kilgore, Texas; his brother Dale Agnew and wife Robin of Carrollton, Texas; brother Jay Agnew and his wife Paula of Plano, Texas and sister Ann and her husband Charles Morgan of Edington, North Carolina as well as numerous nieces, nephews & cousins. On August 6, 2012, Glenn triumphantly joined God’s heavenly kingdom. A service to celebrate Glenn’s memorable life will be held Friday, August 10, 2012, @ 11 o’clock am at the First United Methodist Church of Pauls Valley officiated by Rev. Mark Watson under the direction of Wooster Funeral Home. There is a pall over our small community right now…a piece of the magic that makes Pauls Valley so special is missing…The boisterous laughter after one of Glenn’s jokes…the yell of victory after an OU game…the thunderous welcome as you enter his presence…the glorious smile as he sees his sweet wife…the thoughtful tear as he shares communion with his church family kneeling at the altar…memories of a busy, fast-paced entrepreneur always trying to make the world a better place…this is the husband to be remembered, the father to be remembered, the brother to be remembered, the friend to be remembered….this is our Glenn! And as a special note to the love of his life….”I’ll meet you at the corner”….God speed dear one! Memorials may be made to the First United Methodist Church of Pauls Valley, P. O. Box 385, Pauls Valley, Oklahoma. 73075
