David always had a great love of learning and an insatiable desire for adventure. As a child he was an excellent artist and musician and loved exploring the world around him. All these elements led David to enlist in the Navy during WWII where he served in the South Pacific. He was stationed in the Solomon Islands where he worked as a mechanic repairing Hellcats and Corsairs. Upon returning stateside he and his father opened Glenn’s Food Market in Baytown, Texas. His generosity, compassion, and dedication to community service won him the respect of his customers and community and an honorary membership in the Hispanic Organization – L.U.L.A.C. David met and subsequently married Frankie Louise Pike on February 24, 1951 in Nederland, Texas. Their family began with the birth of their first daughter, Danna Janice in 1953.

After 31 years David sold his grocery business, became a realtor and broker and moved his family to Huntsville, Texas. He worked for Elkins Lake Realty before opening David Glenn Properties, and then moved on to work with Heart of Texas Realty. David had the distinct honor of having been elected President of the Huntsville Board of Realtors three times and retired from the business in 2001.
