In Loving Memory
May I offer my condolences to you and your children on the passing of your husband. I am uncertain if I know you. But, if you taught English at West High School I am one of your former students. If so, you were one of my favorite teachers and I wanted to thank you for your abilities. May the Lord be with you at this time of your loss. Dirk Evertsen class of 1958

My condolences and best wishes to the family of Glen Silcox. I was a reporter, photographer and a copy reader at the Deseret News, where I worked with Glen on the Copy Desk for a number of years. He was a very competent editor and a good friend.

I worked with Glen at the newspaper. He taught me so much. I admired his professionalism and character, and the fact that he loved bicycling.

Dear Virginia, Teresa, Michael, and Geoff, Occasionally being a part of family gatherings over all these very many years has always been such a happiness in my life--and later in David's also. We loved Glen and will miss him so much. Thinking of you all and hoping for peace and comfort during this hard time. With lots of love.
