OBITUARY
Glen, a member of the Priority One family for over 20 years, brought a vast and unmatched product knowledge in our industry. “Glen worked in automotive and marine F&I offices for over 30 years and brought so much of that experience to our business,” said Heather Mariscal, President. “He was passionate about dealers’ needs and really understood their perspective. He was also very skilled with numbers and the management side of the F&I... see more
Glen, a member of the Priority One family for over 20 years, brought a vast and unmatched product knowledge in our industry. “Glen worked in automotive and marine F&I offices for over 30 years and brought so much of that experience to our business,” said Heather Mariscal, President. “He was passionate about dealers’ needs and really understood their perspective. He was also very skilled with numbers and the management side of the F&I business. Calling himself ‘the numbers guy,’ you would often find him running a report, evaluating data and looking at different angles to help dealers, lenders and customers. While we will miss his skill set tremendously, more than that, we will miss his friendship.”
Outside of the office, Glen was actively involved with Heidi’s Legacy Dog Rescue. Memorial contributions may be made here: http://heidislegacydogrescue.com/donate/.
He is survived by his wife of 38 years, two children, three grandchildren and four dogs.

I have bunches from over the years:
My best stories are when he would come to the loan processing room at the old building on Friday around 5:45 and start putting deals on the board. Sandy would go crazy; however they were fake deals to get her going. SO funny!
Glen told me numerous times he moved my desk often so that I would downsize a little. Apparently I am a hoarder. lol
He was a great person and opened his ranch for all of us to come by and ride horses. Glen's love for his dogs was powerful.

I learned a lot from Glen about the boating industry and Priority One as a company. He and I are from New Jersey and would sit and talk about the past and share stories about the area. Glen was also a closet dead head and we talked a lot about the band and show experiences. I will miss his dry humor and deadpan responses to “stupid” questions. Thank you for the memories and may you rest in peace my friend. less
I'm saddened by the loss for everyone you touched. May the sorrow be replaced by the memories of good times. I will miss talking with you. Hearing about the dogs, horses and other animals. Thank you for the eggs. Your advice on shooting and reloading.... moreI'm saddened by the loss for everyone you touched. May the sorrow be replaced by the memories of good times. I will miss talking with you. Hearing about the dogs, horses and other animals. Thank you for the eggs. Your advice on shooting and reloading. Your unique sense of humor. Your help with making sure all the reports were accurate. You touched people's lives in so many ways. Rest In Peace, Glen. less

Working with him for 18 years, I learned a lot from him and about him. His love of horses and German Shepherds was awesome. He was always inviting me and my husband up to go horseback riding. I always said "some day!"...and now I wish I would have gone.
This picture is of a group of P1'ers doing volunteer work with some horses at Bakas Equestrian Center. Man, Glen loved horses and knew so much about them. He loved sharing that knowledge with others as well.
My heart goes out to his family. Glen will definitely be missed around the office. RIP, Glen, and here's hoping you are riding some awesome horses in the sky! less

He contributed in so many ways to our company’s success and I personally learned so much from him over the years. We often talked about our families and his face lit up when speaking about his grandchildren. He liked to pretend he was tough, but it didn’t take much to realize he was kind and compassionate at his core. I’ll never forget his sly smile, his sense of humor or his friendship. My heart goes out to his wife, children and grandchildren. They will be in our thoughts. less

He was in his element that day and happily shared all his knowledge of horses with the rest of us. Glen was a true animal lover. Along with caring for his own horses, he frequently spoke of the German Shepherds that he and his wife would foster until they could be rescued in a forever home. You could tell he enjoyed life with his family and his animals on their ranch north of Tampa. In the office, along with taking a genuine interest in his co-workers and their families, he would also ask about the animals (pets) of the P1 family. Professionally, he was a great resource for me at Priority One. I wouldn’t hesitate to dial ext 238 with any questions about operations at Priority One, how to use proprietary P1 systems, or questions about the F & I business in general, because Glen always had an answer and never made you feel like you were asking a dumb question. Even thought a lot of mine probably fell in that category. I’m glad I had the chance to work with Glen over the last three years. He will be missed by all of us at Priority One and I send my deepest sympathies to his family. less

One of my favorite memories of Glen is when he welcomed my family to his ranch a couple counties north of our office. My daughter was able to ride horses, play with cats, and chase the chickens. You can tell he loved it up there and enjoy the animals... moreOne of my favorite memories of Glen is when he welcomed my family to his ranch a couple counties north of our office.
