Uptown Westerville Farmers Market: A Fond Farewell to A Good Friend

Market Wednesday has some sad news to share. Michele Doran's (Doran's Family Farm) Dad, Glenn Gutridge, passed away earlier this week.

Glenn has been an energetic presence at the market season after season. He looked-after people - family... customers... vendors and helped make this market family. 

Heartfelt condolences to Michele, Jim, Megan, Renee, the family, and all Glenn's loved ones.

Additional details in Glenn's obituary: http://www.legacy.com/obituar…/newarkadvocate/obituary.aspx…
