In addition to his parents and wife, Shirley J. (Heasley) Doverspike, whom he married Oct. 18, 1945, he was preceded in death by his two brothers and two sisters, and a son-in-law.  He was the last of his immediate family.

Glenn held many occupations since his youth, but most were spent driving truck for Womelsdorf Trucking in Yeagertown, Branch Motor Express in Milton, and others.  Glenn enjoyed helping his family in any way he could, especially after retiring.  His most beloved furbabies, Benji and Buddy, were the light of his life.
