Warren, AR Tuesday, January 9, 2024 Ms. Dorothy, Kimberly and Kayla I want to tell you that I am sincerely sorry for your loss of a wonderful man! I knew Mr. Glover for several years from my husband and I doing business at Commercial Bank. Mr. Glover would always meet us with his hand out ready to shake our hand and he would also have a big smile on his face "as he did in the memorial video -by the way I loved it" ready to serve us! I can never think of a time that he didn't help us! Heaven really gained a special Angel and I know by the video he's singing in the beautiful choir! I wish you better days ahead knowing he's with God and being well taken care of! Prayers 🙏, Love ❤️ to you all and God be with each of you 💕Shelby Williams

Fayetteville, AR Friday, January 5, 2024 What a great man! He was a very important part of my life as a young man. Mr. G took a chance on a young local guy in 1986 and asked me if I wanted to be a Banker. I learned how to take care of customers, how to support your local community, and how to lead a Team of employees all from his leadership. I learned how to be a part of a Team and how to be a leader both in and outside of a Board Room. The accomplishments and honors bestowed upon Mr. G, he took them in stride. Mr. G thought the tasks he earned those honors for was what you are supposed to do each and every day. A true servant leader.Steve Davis
