Glenn will be remembered as a devoted family man, businessman, community member, and entertainer whose presence brought people together wherever he went. He received a bachelor’s degree from Findlay College in Findlay, Ohio and was Presbyterian by faith. He was also the proud owner of G & K Watterson Paving, a business that reflected his strong work ethic, reliability, and commitment to quality. Through his work, he earned the respect of colleagues and customers alike and built lasting relationships throughout the community. He was also deeply involved in several organizations close to his heart, including the Masonic Lodge of Enon, the LMBA Club of New Galilee, the VFW of New Galilee, the Darlington Polo Club, and the United States Polo Association. He also served with dedication as Lieutenant Governor of the Mid-State Circuit for 10 years, a role he took great pride in. He truly embraced life outside of work. He also loved boating and waterskiing, trail riding, RVing, and traveling: especially cruises and vacations that allowed him to relax and enjoy time with others. He was also known as a natural entertainer who loved dancing, hosting gatherings and was famous for throwing three great parties every year that friends and family eagerly anticipated. His laughter, hospitality, and ability to make everyone feel welcome will be fondly remembered. Above all, he cherished time spent with those he loved. His life was marked not just by what he did, but by the joy he shared and the memories he created with others.
