Glenn pursued his career with Shell Oil Co. where he spent fifteen years. With his passion of large game hunting and wildlife conservation, Glenn decided to leave Shell and pursue his dream. As a world-class hunter in his own right, Glenn opened a sporting goods store. After many years of success, Glenn then opened, "Glenn Slade's Executive Travel". Glenn loved to travel and was very knowledgeable of the most exotic and remote areas of the world. He is noted for being a member of many prestigious clubs and organizations. Most notable is, "The Explorer Club" Glenn is noted to have discovered a region of the Yukon that until then was pristine and untouched countryside. He was also a member of the Kiwanis Club, The International Professional Hunter's Club, The East African Professional Hunters Club and the World Famous, Mount Kenya Safari club as well as many other organizations. Glenn spent many years traveling the world over as a Big Game Hunter and Conservationist. Many of his trophies have in the past been donated to various Museums. One of Glenn's many accomplishments that he was truly proud of was in 1982, when he was presented the highly prized "Weathersby Award", for his collection of 183 species of the World's game animals as well as being the first to collect all of the North American, "Big 5" game animals, twice over and held a recorded world record for many years. Though many years were spent abroad, Glenn's heart was always at home. As a young man and after being discharged from the Army in San Antonio as a retired veteran of WW II, Glenn made Houston his permanent home where he raised his family and was a member of St. Michael's Catholic Church for 35 years. Glenn is survived by his wife of 9 years, Carmella L. Slade, his sons, Dr. Stephen Slade and his wife Cindy, Glenn Slade III, Gregg Slade, and his wife Robin and grandson Ryan.
