David Gleisner started his military training in 1954 in Texas. His wife, Marilyn and son, Alen, joined David after he had been transferred to a base in Chicago.

Alen Gleisner (oldest son) was born while David was in the service. They lived as a family in Chicago for two years. Once out of the military the couple moved back to Nicollet to raise their family on the farm. In life, David loved everything about farming. He also enjoyed fishing, wood working, antiques, gardening, and watching the Minnesota Twins.

The family would like to express their appreciation and gratitude to the outstanding staff at Ecumen Pathstone Crossing and the nurses at Immanuel St. Joseph hospital.
