Experience is called the most eloquent
preacher, but it never has a large congregation, because the
greatest sermon we will ever preach will be the sermon of
our lives
-Delores Halls
Some
people on earth have many different lives depending on whom
you ask. Glenn was one of these people, a husband, bishop,
mechanic, home teacher, pilot, explorer, businessman, icon
of an industry. If you asked him, he would probably say he
was a poor boy who worked hard, stayed out of debt, and
tried his best to do what is right. Glenn spent his life as an
entrepreneur, it was said in Morgan where the family lived
“…those Halls boys could walk into a junkyard and come out
driving a car.” Dreams are meant to be shared; sharing
Glenn’s ensures they live on.
Glenn met and married Mary Delores Carter on April 12,
1935. Never blessed with children they immersed themselves
in business, civic and religious service. Delores, Glenn’s
wife of 57 years died in November 1992 after years of
deteriorating health caused by complications created from
cancer treatments. Delores served as Relief Society
President, and teacher. She was Secretary of Relief Society
at the time of her passing. She was known for the
magnificence of her visual aides, intense spiritual focus
and poetry. Glenn served in many church callings and as a
faithful home teacher. He provided spiritually and
temporally for many individuals an families throughout his
life and beyond.
Glenn Halls only completed his formal education through
the 9th grade, but continued learning his entire life. The
Glenn & Delores Halls Family Trust provide assistance for
the descendents of his parents, Earl & Eliza Halls to pay
for missions served for the Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter
Day Saints, and for college education; thus sharing his
dreams and dedication to building the Kingdom of God,
education, personal growth, and self-improvement.
Our Purpose
Glenn & Delores never had any children of their own, it
was Glenn's wish to offer something to the descendants of
his parents, Earl & Eliza. The Trust offers the opportunity
for financial assistance with college tuitions and fees and
for missionary work for the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-Day Saints.
One of Glenn's passions in life was maintaining his
family history. He contributed heavily to the Halls Family
Organization and even served as it's President for many
years. Glenn also funded a family history book that still
has yet to be published. The Trust has continued his efforts
by funding this site as an electronic gathering place for
photos, stories and histories of Glenn's Ancestors.
