(1926 - 2014)
Glenn H. Van Buren, 88, of Waupun, died Saturday, January 25, 2014 at Hospice Home of Hope in Fond du Lac.
Glenn was born January 3, 1926 in the town of Trenton, the son of Garrett and Hannah Vande Zande Van Buren. On February 18, 1948 he married Agnes Visser in Waupun. The couple resided in Waupun all their married lives. Glenn owned and operated his own Mobil Oil business from 1947-1982. After 35 years he sold his business to Farmers Elevator and worked part-time for them until 1989 at which time he fully retired. Following retirement he and Aggie traveled extensively throughout the United States. Glenn loved playing horse shoes and enjoyed golfing at Rock River Country Club until he was 87 years old. Glenn was a charter member of Emmanuel Reformed Church in Waupun where he served as an elder and deacon, V.P. of Consistory, General Treasurer, Benevolent Treasurer, Building Treasurer, Secretary of Men’s Brotherhood, and was a member of the male chorus and church choir. He also sang 30 years in the church quartet and was Assistant Sunday School Superintendant. He was a past secretary of the Waupun Christian School Board. Glenn lived out his faith in God and shared it with many, but Glenn’s greatest joy was his family.
