My deepest condolences on Glen's passing. I new Glen for the last 25 years or so while he was at Molex and Vernitron/Beau Products. He was always welcome in my office on his sales calls. I played golf with Glen as my partner for many years and always looked forward to our matches with other friends. He was a great competitor and always had a lot of good times and laughter to be be shared and treasured. I will miss him, he was quite a good playing partner and a wonderful friend.

Mrs Montgomey, Blake, and Melissa, when I think of your husband and dad I put a smile on my face. I have such fond memories or Mr Montgomery. His witty sense of humor was one I'll never forget. He always made you feel welcome on Jewel road even after Blake and I had been up to no good(rarely). He will be missed.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Scott

Glenn was an amazing person and will be greatly missed! I had the forture of spending a lot of time on the road with Glenn when we traveled together while he was at Molex. We shared many, many laughs together. His genuine, good-natured personality drew people in and he brought a lot of fun, joy and laughter to many people!
My thoughts and prayers extend to all within the Montgomery family.

Glenn will be greatly missed by all of us who knew him! I had the pleasure to work closely with "The Governor" in his years at Molex and i have admired him from the day we met! Just imagine the excuses he will use when he whiffs the ball on that first tee in Heaven! My thoughts and prayers are with you Janis, and to the entire Montgomery family! God bless!
