Born on March 21, 1936 in Cluster Springs VA, he was the son of the late Mr. Glenn Pinchback and Mrs. Dolly Bruce Pinchback. He graduated from Burley High School in Charlottesville. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 52 years, Rosemary Yancey Pinchback, who passed on April 21, 2012.

Additionally, he is survived by his sister-in-law, Mrs. Ruth Yancey, of Durham NC and a host of nieces, nephews and cousins.

Glenn proudly served in the US Army as a paratrooper and Nike Missile artilleryman. He began his law enforcement career as a Public Safety Officer with the Rockland State Psychiatric Hospital in New York then moved on to serve with the Piermont NY Police Department. Upon returning to Charlottesville in 1978, he became a Police Officer with the Charlottesville Police Department and worked until his retirement twenty years later.

Glenn enjoyed many things in life but chief among them were family, movies (particularly Westerns) and motorcycles. His favorite movie was Shane. He was an avid gun enthusiast as well, having his Federal Firearms License and becoming a Marksman in the US Army and the Charlottesville Police Department. Glenn was also conferred the title of 33rd Degree Mason by his lodge in New York. Throughout his life, he was devoted to protecting people.
