FLAT ROCK ñ William ìGlennî Newman, 68 of Flat Rock passed away on Saturday, February 16, 2013 at his home.

Glenn was known as a hardworking man by all who knew him. He worked for over 30 years and retired from Kimberly-Clark ìBerkley Millsî in Balfour. His passion, though, was the love of farming.
