[@chrisramsey3603]

RIP Cousin Glen. Say hello to my Dad for me, I know he is glad to see you again.

[@paulnewman4624]

Chris Ramsey that's a lovely message.

I watched the I'll be me documentary last week..i had recorded it a while ago but as i cared for my mom with alzheimer's for 7 yrs i had to pick my moment to watch it.. but in the middle of lockdown was probably NOT my best choice.. my dad was American..he met my mom ..who was Welsh... on a blind date in November 1943 in Worcester England... they got married on feb 17th 1944.. my dad had 2 days leave as they were doing 'training '.. then on 6th of June 1944..today funnily enough. .he landed on Omaha beach on the DDay landings..my mom worked in a munitions factory anyway i digress.. my dad came from dirt poor farmers in Michigan. .he loved country and swing so i grew up loving both. . Always loved Glens music..he could put so much emotion into those lyrics without it seemed any effort..you believed him..that he had 'been there'.. always had a crush on him although he was 20 yrs older. I cried through most of this glorious documentary. .i say glorious because it celebrated the man and his talent...his fight to stay in the moment..not give in to this godawful disease. It was funny..sad. uplifting. .sad again. .and wondrous that he couldn't hold a conversation with you but he could remember all the lyrics and that wonderful guitar talent. To see his children with him on that tour was lovely too... i will watch it again sometime. Hopefully when I'm less depressed. .Glen..I am missing you and your talent. .but you are now free of that disease and I'm sure you're entertaining everyone with that silky. .sultry. .emotional voice...🇬🇧🌈🙏⛪💔

I was going to see Glen one time in Reno but just three days before I was to see him he had to cancel the last few days of the show. I have always loved his music and singing, I will be forever grateful that I was able to hear and enjoy his fabulous music. Also his guitar playing was second to none...God Bless G.C. and rest in peace.

[@sandranapier6345]

2019!!!!!!! Why am I seeing this?

[@madelinenytes3970]

Gladis going to be miss his music is all way sad

[@tomzeeh6618]

Was that Paul McCartney in the crowd? I think so. Confession: in the 60s I was obsessed with English groups. Heard Glen on radio, liked his stuff, but didn't go ape over it. Galveston was just a sad cowboy song; I missed the point completely. Wichita Lineman? Nice, pretty, Now at age 69 yrs. I'm still a Beatlemaniac, but I've finally matured and absolutely love this man's music and talent. Thanks, Mr. Campbell. Quite the guitarist, by the way. Top 5 in my book.

[@robertpickett2569]

I know this struggle personally, God rest him.!!!

[@back2uster]

May your soul rest in peace Glen Our Condolence to the family and loved ones. Its easy to say stay strong I would say pray everyday Ashley and also the boys and Ms. Campbell Jesus is with you all have Faith in him

I did not know that... I will try to find it.

[@animax54]

😭😭😭😭

[@MLewis-lv4uu]

He had eight children, but all that seem to be mentioned at his death are the last three children. I would like to hear from his other five children and their thoughts and relationship with their dad. He was so very talented.

[@topgun57572000]

Sadly missed

[@sonyawebb2006]

You know he was gurgling drinking gravy as he stared

[@williamyanosko4010]

Why would you make a comment like that... if you ever had to care for someone who had Alzheimer's your view would sober up...life is funny...you could wind up having to do just that....it strikes people quickly and relentlessly....if and when it happens...refer back to this response

[@blacquesjacques7239]

EVERYONE loses their battle with Alzheimer's .

[@napejack]

RIp!

[@Nautilus1972]

She made him - forced him - to do 152 dates so she could make a fortune. It was very sad to see him lost and frustrated when the teleprompter went out and he was up there n0to knwoing what the hell was going on. "I'll be me" documents it all. IT WASN'T FOR HIM!
