Scivally and Ethel Fanny Bond Scivally. He grew up and attended schools in Thackerville where he served as class president and salutatorian. Glen attended the University of Texas-Arlington where he received his bachelor's degree in business and then went on to get his license as a CPA. Glen married early in life and moved to Gainesville and Fort Worth as he followed employment. He held a position with NCH for 31 years in which he served as treasurer and executive vice president until his retirement in 2004. During this tenure, he also held an international position in England for three years. In 2006, Glen returned to the Gainesville/Thackerville area. Glen loved listening to vintage country western music. He traveled the world extensively and even traveled the U.S. on motorcycle. He loved cars and working on things. In his down time you would likely catch Glen enjoying a smoothie or eating some Blue Bell ice cream. Glen had two previous marriages. The first to Jean Kelley, who preceded him in death. The couple bore two children who survive, Rick and wife, Jeneth Scivally, of Arlington and Jay Scivally and wife, Dawn, of Ovilla. The union to his second wife, Jo Beadle of Mineral Wells, bore one adopted child, Ryan Austin Scivally of Bedford. Glen later married Kathye Davis-Scivally who survives of the home. From this union came two stepchildren, Paige Owens and husband, Todd, of Grapevine and Blake Irwin of Little Elm. Additional survivors: Brothers, Thurman Scivally and wife, Ann, of Gainesville, Roy Scivally and wife, Rosalind, of Haltom City and Don Scivally and wife, Linda, of Thackerville; 15 grandchildren; and one great-grandchild. Glen was also preceded in death by his parents and a brother, Vernon Scivally.

Kathye, I'm Bob Eubanks who spoke to you the day before Glen's passing. I'm a former NCH employee and the call was to invite him to a luncheon of old NCH retirees. I had phone problems and could not understand all that you said but I now know what you were feeling and what you actually said. I'm so very sorry to hear of your loss. Glen helped me in the International division of NCH on many occasions and I always treasured his adivse and assistance. He always helped us make the South American and Asian markets more profitable.

I always had to "kid" him about the two of you riding motorcycles around the country. Now, that was out of character for a serious accounting type of guy. Please accept my condolences and God bless the family in this time of loss. Sincerely, Bob Eubanks
