Glenn became popular among the fans of the show after they witnessed how he supported Whitney during her breakup with ex-fiance Chase Severino. He has also worked with PBM Graphics for more than seven years and graduated in political science and history from Guilford College. During the pandemic lockdown, the family had witnessed Barbara being diagnosed with Covid-19 and UTI. As previously reported by MEAWW, the viewers also witnessed the conversation of Whitney requesting her father to retire and stay at home to care for her mother. 

For years, Glenn has given his opinion on Whitney's dating life and has frequently urged her to pursue a healthy lifestyle by enrolling her in various workout regimens. Glenn and Babs Thore are well-known for passing amusing remarks about their daughter's personal life, which has helped them gain popularity among viewers. Glenn's affection for his wife, Babs, is obvious. The father-of-two has been the family rock for years and loves his wife like a queen.

Upon her mother's death, Whitney wrote on her page, "My mother died last night just as the credits rolled on her favorite movie. Dad, Hunter, and I held her as she took her last breaths. It was 10:32pm, the same exact time she brought me into this world almost forty years ago.My mom had cerebral amyloid angiopathy, which is an untreatable progressive condition caused by proteins in the blood vessels of the brain that can cause dementia, seizures, or like in my mom’s case, brain bleeding (hemorrhagic strokes)."

She added, "When mom had her first stroke in 2017, we were told of this and we knew that more strokes would eventually be inevitable. Mom’s second stroke was December 28, 2021 and her last was November 13, 2022.My mother is our family’s greatest gift. We could never love, revere, or value another person more. If you’re reading this, you’re familiar with her magic: her southern charm, her hilarious sense of humor, her well-timed witty remarks, her beauty, and her ability to make everyone around her feel comfortable and cared for." 

Later, she said, "But what you can’t possibly understand is the extent of my mother’s love — what you may have witnessed and felt through a TV screen is a minute fraction that, even if multiplied by a million, wouldn’t come close to 'real life.' That’s how enormous, how generous, and how all-encompassing my mother’s love was. I am the luckiest person on the planet to have been hers for almost 39 years.We want to thank you for loving our mother. She delighted in her newfound television career more than we can describe! It gave her such a sense of purpose and excitement and something to look forward to every time the crew came around."

Further she claimed, "This last year navigating life after her second stroke was, perhaps surprisingly, the best of our lives. We never had more fun or laughed as much as we did the past year. The support from all of you made her feel so loved and encouraged. We are unbelievably thankful that we’ve been able to share her with you and it is our hope that her memory will continue to be a source of comfort and happiness for the rest of your lives, just as it will be for ours. I love you, Mommy."
