Glenn McAllen Sholar, age 68, of Wallace left this earthly life for his eternal rest Friday, September 30, 2011 at his residence.

Glenn was a devoted husband and caring father, grandfather and brother who loved his family dearly. He lived his life based on the fact that "this world was not his home" and his life provided an impeccable example for his children and family. He was one who was never idle but always kept busy. As a family man, Glenn always made time for his family. It was important for him to either talk to or see his brother, Dwight, every day. With a big heart and a generous spirit, he was always willing to lend a helping hand wherever needed. Glenn will be remembered for his great sense of humor, his love for his family and his steadfast faith in God.
