USN Retired A Resident of San Lorenzo His long, wonderful, amazing flight began at 11:15 a.m. on March 16, 1939. His remarkable flight came softly to earth at 6:16 a.m. on June 18, 2008, not in the dark of night, but in the daylight hours of a gloriously beautiful sunny day, as he could have...

I am sorry for your loss. I have stumbled across this Obituary while searching for information about my Husbands family. Alice Stoner was his grandmother. I am trying to learn details about who raised her and her siblings.

We shared an apartment and and a lot
of laughs together. A true friend and
a great shipmate. He left me for Ann,
what a bummer, but boy did he get a winner.

My dearest Sweetheart left us less than one month ago. It does not get easier, it gets harder missing him every minute and hour of every day. I was not prepared to let him go, but two and a half days before he left his loved ones he said, "I'm ready. I'm ready to die", and I believe he began to shut himself down. I knew I could no longer selfishly hold onto him. He was a remarkable man who lived life his way. I believe he kept his heart beating as long as he wanted to. I miss him so much. I...

It is amazing what one person can bring to the world. Dad, you truly had a gift! I want to thank all of you who have shared your stories of time spent with my father, it warms my heart to know that you also thought of him as stubborn, smart mouthed, and opinionated as well as kind, generous of sprit and loving. Time and time again what people have shared is that he was an honest man that they could always depend on. I am grateful for all the lessons he has shared and for when given the...

I've only known Glen as 'Uncle Butch" and I have such great memories of visiting him and his family - especially when they lived in the San Diego area. Even though I hadn't seen him for several years - I've stayed in touch through my dad (Jack) and have enjoyed the stories he's shared with us. I'll forever remember him and his ready smile and the times we enjoyed together. May his family take comfort in knowing he was very much loved and will always be in our hearts.

Glenn and I have always been very close. We used to bowl together in the Calif State Tournaments; one year my wife and I would go North for the tournaments and the next year Glenn and Ann would go South for them.. Great fun. When Glenn was a small boy (we called him Butch), and got upset he would sit on the couch and pout and bounce his head back & forth on the couch back.. Funny the things you remember.. I've always loved him. I had 3 brothers (all Navy) and now I have none.. How sad life...

People told me I looked a lot like my dad; the same eyes, smile, cheeks, but I also got some great inner qualities from him too, like being able to say what I think and to stand strong, but most importantly, it's never to late to say I love you. I have always been blessed by the time we have shared together.

I surprised Glenn and Ann w/a visit in the fall of '06, then gave them plenty of notice for my next visit in the summer of '07.
Glenn answered the door (which surprised me) and I then explained who I was and he remembered me. (Ann was my stepmom in the '60s and very early '70s...I lived w/ Ann for a short time after my Dad moved out.)
I liked Glenn alot when I was a little girl...around the age of 10-11yrs. I remember him being kind to me.
He wasn't in my life very long, but I am...
