Glen Simonson Obituary
Glen lived in West Richland for the past three years with Mel and April Roth enjoying the birds and wildlife watching from the back patio. He thrust upon anyone around him his love for car races and his constant addiction to the TV whenever there was a race on. If it had to do with cars - it was on the tube and you had to watch it with him!
Glen worked for the Auto Salvage industry for 48 years in Rapid City, S.D. He retired in 2006. He may not remember your name but he always remembered what kind of car you drove - and possibly any car you had previous to that!
Glen is survived by seven children, Glenda in Kennewick, Sadonna (Leon) Cordell in Custer, S.D., April (Mel) Roth in West Richland, Rory (Candace) in Rapid City, Brian in Finley, Darcey (Steve) Rupe in Black Hawk, S.D., and Scott (Barb) in Mandan, N.D.; 15 grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; his mother, Veronica Simonson in Bozeman, Mont.; two brothers, Gary (Sharon) and Ardell; a sister, Diane Leum (Wes) and numerous nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his dad, Norval; and his youngest brother, Nubby.
No services are planned at this time. Glen's wishes were to have his ashes strewn in his favorite hunting spot in South Dakota - and of course that is hallowed ground known only to the few privileged to hunt with Glen……
I can still hear him say, "Love you too sweetheart," after visiting him for the last time in the hospital.
Rest in Peace Dad!

Wishing all of the family the best from Keith McNeil and family. Haven't seen Glen in some time but made an attempt to see him while he was in Rapid City. Having hunt with Glen for many years I may be able to come up with a few locations as per his wish.
You can contact me on my email [email protected]. I currently live in the Albuquerque, New Mexico area and get back to Rapid City a few times a year.

Sorry to hear about Glen. We drifted apart after I moved to Philip, but I often thought about him. It sounds like he enjoyed his later years. Wish I had kept in closer touch.
