Glenn will be remembered as a prominent business man. Although “retired”, up until recently he was still working at the same job he had since he was 23 years old; his family business; Fayetteville Contractors, Inc., where he was the owner /operator. He would often be seen visiting job sites to make sure things were running according to his expectations.
Glenn was a lifetime member of the Chambersburg Church of the Brethren along with being on the Board of Directors at the Chambersburg Country Club for many years. While running his business, he obtained his private pilot’s license so that he could travel to different job sites. In his free time, he was an avid hunter and golfer.
