<p>This page has been setup in memory of Glen Gardener.</p>
<p>If you're not sure if you've met Glen then you've probably not met him! </p>
<p>Here are some of the ways that he will be remembered by me:</p>
<p>- great friend<br>- average colleague !<br>- first black polar bear (his own nickname for himself on the ski slopes)<br>- guy crashing into the snow bank (everyone else's nickname for him on the ski slopes)<br>- guy who would bike out to get me a KFC for lunch (because I fancied a zinger burger and telling him made him want one too and there wasn't a KFC in Canary Wharf)<br>- guy who lapped danced for my husband on our wedding day<br>- guy who literally let his hair down on holiday (Munich, Amsterdam, Mayerhofen for those who were there)<br>- guy who bought Tickle-Me Elmo's for his nieces and nephews (then a couple more for himself!)<br>- guy who always had time to make me laugh (usually with an inappropriate youtube link)<br>- guy who I did WAR seat testing with every year - it was a tradition for us to go to lunch in KFC and discuss life.</p>

<p>That was just a random selection. Tell me yours and I'll update this story.</p>
<p>Glen really did live life to the full and the kidney thing was treated as a minor inconvenience. Incredible really. </p>
<p>I hope Heaven's stocked up on JD...</p>
<p>We'll miss you GG (don't forget, we agreed to meet up at Heaven Nandos - I assume you're there already). </p>
