Glenn Edwin Sessions was born on November 10, 1917 to Byron and Ellen Sessions in Byron, Wyoming; a small town named after Glenn's grandfather, Byron Sessions. Glenn was the youngest of thirteen children. Glenn grew up and became an outstanding athlete; in fact, he won a hoop shoot-out which was the deciding factor for Byron High School to receive a new gymnasium. He graduated from that high school in 1936. After high school Glenn married Alice Delmonica in April of 1938 in Byron, Wyoming.

The oil industry was just beginning around the time Glenn graduated and he worked every job around to learn as much as possible about the booming industry. Around 1940 he was hired on with Texaco, Glenn worked for them for a number of years while moving through the ranks. Eventually he went into business with four other men, starting an oilfield general contracting company called Harrison & Sessions. The oilfield continued to put bread on the table of Glenn and Alice and their children, Les who was born in 1939, Linda who was born in 1940, Sharon who was born in 1941 and Doug who was born in 1948. Linda passed away shortly after she was born. The family lived in Oregon Basin oilfield camp outside of Cody, Wyoming.

In August of 1950, Glenn went out of town on a job to Merino, Colorado. After a short time he decided Merino was a good place to stay and he moved his family down. Alice and Glenn bought his partners out in 1952 and his company became Glenn E Sessions, General Oilfield Contractor. Also in 1952, they welcomed another son Ron; followed a few years later by another daughter Sue in 1957. When the boys grew and became a part of the business, the name was changed to name we know today- Glenn E. Sessions & Sons.

Glenn ran his company based out of Merino but spent plenty of time in Walden, and Ault, Colorado, among other places for 47 years. During that time he was said to have hired many of the boys that graduated from Merino High School; a number of them worked for him for years. In 1987, when Alice's health began to fail, Glenn retired. His retirement was spent being busy helping his son's carry on the business, spending time with family, and beingan avid outdoorsman.

Alice and Glenn were married for 54 years before she passed away in April of 1992. He reconnected with an old high school sweetheart Ann Duehlmeier and they married in 1993. This added 6 more children to his clan. Glenn and Ann enjoyed their large family and spent all the time they could with them. He spent loads of time up at the cabin in Walden that he constructed in 1972, fishing and hunting, and having family gatherings. Other times he was at home teaching his grandkids pitch or pinochle. He loved music and cooking and being surrounded by good friends and family. Glenn and Ann were married for 15 years before she passed away in 2008.

In 98 years Glenn lived an amazing life, his accomplishments and achievements spread far and wide. The positive impact and influence that he had on everyone he knew and loved will be missed the most as we celebrate the end of this journey. Glenn's faithfulness and love for his family was inspiring and will live on forever in the family and the generations to come.
