Only a few years ago Glade was struggling with a series of infections and other symptoms. Not until he was getting a colonoscopy was it discovered that he had stage 4 liver disease. Hospitalized numerous times and surrounded by his wife and family of two sons, a daughter and eight grandkids, they held on to their faith and waited. A late night call in April, 2016, alerted them that a liver was available. After a few previous false alarms, this time everything worked and he woke up with a new liver, and according to Glade, “It’s magical what these docs can do.” What’s next for this retired stone carver and classic car lover? He is going to get his classic 1947 Pontiac convertible ready for a long celebration ride down the Mother Road with his wife Susan.
