Their daughter, Desty Shoemaker and many cousins from Minot enjoyed time together after reviewal Friday evening, at the Robin’s Nest, where Joann Rauh hosted a supper for them. Desty’s cousins on her Dad’s side came from Jamestown, Bismarck, and Minot, for the funeral. Glenn had just turned 79 on May 6 th.
