     Glenn was husband to Dorothy A. (Harding) for 61 years, and father to Ginny (John) Szafranski, Vicki Schloer, Bonnie (Chris) Prenatt, Kristen (Brent) Fuller and Bill Schmidt. He was grandfather to 9 grandchildren, Kalen, Jordan, Halle, Anthony, Luke, Jacob, Megan, Aidan and Emma. He also loved his lap dogs Rocco and Annie.

     Glenn served in the United States Army for two years after graduating from high school. He met and married Dorothy a few years later. Soon after they married, they moved to Linesville and Glenn worked at Rockwell International in Ashtabula, Ohio from 1966 until the plant closed in 1987. His next career was selling insurance for New York Life and LCBA (Loyal Christian Benefits Association). Glenn was active with the LCBA, Branch 1538 and served as branch treasurer for many years. He helped sponsor the Pymatuning Lake Association Kids Fishing Derby for many years. He was also involved in his son’s Boy Scout Troop 201 as a co-leader for several years.

     Glenn enjoyed being outdoors. He was a hunter and fisherman and shared his love of fishing with his son Bill and grandchildren. They found many great fishing spots in the area over the years. Glenn was known for his big beautiful vegetable gardens that often produced more than his family could eat. Glenn found great pleasure in sharing his bounty while visiting with family and friends.

     In addition to his wife, children and grandchildren, Glenn is survived by his siblings, Ron (Beverly) Schmidt of Dravosburg, and Mary Ann Skelton of Chambersburg along with dozens of nieces and nephews.
