A kid at heart, his nieces and nephews adored him using these terms of endearment: "Uncle Joe", "Bubba", "Bubba Wubba" and "Uncle Glynn". His hobbies included collecting coins and restoring old cars. Whatever he set his mind on, he was determined to get it done. Glynn loved hunting, fishing, and cooking. He would tell you his cornbread and biscuits were the "bomb".
