Glenn, 1947-2016 Bob, of Chippewa Lake, suffered a massive heart attack and passed away suddenly on the afternoon of January 21st. He is survived by his wife of 22 years, Margaret (Pojman) Glenn; his children, Christopher Glenn and Todd Glenn; step-son, Matthew Vance; his brother, Ronald Glenn; sister, Marie Wonderleigh; and mother- and father-in-law, Jim and Eleanor Pojman.

He had served in the Navy during the Vietnam War, and worked on oil drilling rigs in the Gulf of Mexico.
