Richard GLENNON Obituary
Richard Faraon Glennon Sr. passed away peacefully on January 31, 2023. Born on May 27, 1927, in New York, NY, to Antoinette Faraon Glennon, of Manhattan and George Hand Glennon of Pittston, PA. The family eventually settled in the Midwest, specifically Detroit and eventually Toledo where Dick Glennon attended Toledo Central Catholic. After a brief stint in the Navy, Dick arrived at the University of Dayton on a football scholarship. While the scholarship did not last all 4 years, his love for the University lasted a lifetime. UD is where he met his wife of 64 years, Mary Margaret Stoermer, the youngest of four from Dayton View. The Catholic and Marianist values that Dick learned as an undergraduate guided him his entire life. His love of UD is matched by his dedication to the Dayton region. Living the Marianist mission, practicing servant leadership, Dick and Mary supported the Dayton community in the foreground of the background. Quietly meeting critical needs with a focus on education, their impact was far and wide. Helping grow the Dayton Foundation during his years on the board and working with Bro. Ray Fitz as a multi-term member of UD's Board of Trustees are among his fondest memories of making a difference in the community.
A true entrepreneur, Dick's Dayton based companies revolved around new technology of the decades; he was co-owner of Ohio Sealer Company, which was sold to PTI Inc., Dick founded Dayton Flexible Products, making the first disposable vinyl exam gloves later selling to Baxter Laboratories, he founded NDM (New Dimensions in Medicine) with the first disposable electrodes, later selling to Colgate Palmolive. He founded Insight Technology, making the first flexible IV catheters, which was sold to Warner Lambert and he founded a company currently delivering cutting-edge diagnostic radiology software. Dick supported the inventive talents of people and always had an open door to offer guidance.
Dick is preceded in death by his wife, Mary, son Peter, son-in-law John Bentz and he is survived by three daughters and one son: Mary Patricia Bentz, Margaret Ann Glennon, Richard F. Glennon, Jr. (Patricia), Jeanne M. Glennon (John LeComte) and fourteen grandchildren: Audrey Bentz, Julia Bentz, Maria Bentz, Edward Alfaro, Daniel Alfaro, David Alfaro (Erika), Michael Alfaro, Maria Glennon Stephan (Alain), Megan Glennon Giles (Jeremy), Richard F. Glennon III, Patrick Ryan Glennon, John Patrick LeComte, Christopher LeComte, Daniel LeComte and seven great-grandchildren: William, Henry and Anne Stephan, Benton, Samuel and Mary Giles, and Logan Alfaro.
Mass of Christian burial will take place at the University of Dayton Chapel of the Immaculate Conception on Saturday, February 11th at 12 noon.

I met Mr. Glennon in 2021 as one of his care givers and I was with him until the day that the Good Lord called him home. Mr Glennon was more than a client to me he was my friend. We had long conversations he was so knowledgeable about so many things. I love you Mr Glennon and you will always be in my heart. And to the family of Mr Glennon you all have my deepest condolence and if you ever need me for anything I'm here I'm here.

I´ve known "Dick" as he insisted to be addressed since 1968. I started my working career with him when he was owner of Ohio Sealer shortly after graduating college. I grew to know him not only as a leader and boss but a good friend who took time to ask about the family or any problems I was facing. Later in my career I made many trips with him in the company plane with only he and I on board. So what do you talk about to the company owner for several hrs in an aluminum tube at 5000 ft above the earth? Of course we talked about business but also my career, the family and my goals. He was a great boss who challenged all who worked for him but also a great mentor and friend. My condolences to the family. Mike Taylor

I´ve known Mr. Glennon since 1970. He was my employer, mentor, and friend. Our relationship was rather unique as he entrusted me to handle a variety of items in and out of the conventional workplace. Everything he confided in me I held in absolute silence and respect.
When in his presence I used his first name, but in the past and even til today when I speak of him, or about him to anyone, it´s always Mr. Glennon. I´ve constantly held him and his entire family in the highest regard. May God´s blessings continue to remain with him and his family now and forever.
