Glenn O. Stull

Glenn O. Stull, 90, of Petersburg, N.J., passed away at home Sept. 7, 2022.

Born in Carlisle on May 25, 1932, Glenn was an avid sportsman. He served as the only student to co-captain football, basketball and baseball at Carlisle High School and was honored for his achievements with an honorary athletic award due to the many school records he broke. While playing football at Gettysburg College he was scouted by the Cleveland Indians, but was unable to accept their offer having been drafted into the U.S. Army in 1952.

Glenn continued his football career, playing football in Germany as the captain of the Army team, the Finches, who were the winners of the Rhine League Conference in 1953. Glenn was the first head coach for the Cumberland Colts, a semi-pro football team in the Interstate Football League and lead them to two championship seasons. The Colts remained undefeated for their 17 years of existence.

A numbers man, he began his banking career at Cumberland Valley Savings and Loan as a loan officer before moving the family to Kane to become president of Kane Federal Savings Association. In 1971 Glenn accepted a position with Citizens Savings Association in Scranton, where he became president. Under his leadership, Citizens Savings Association grew to include 27 branches and lease-to-own locations in Northeast Pennsylvania. With his visionary qualities, he founded Citizens Mortgage Service Company in Jenkintown and Fort Lauderdale, Fla., where he was chairman of the board and CEO.

While living in Northeast Pennsylvania, Glenn worked his way through the officer positions on the Pennsylvania Savings and Loan League and became president. He also served on the Federal Home Loan Bank Board in Washington, D.C., where he was honored to meet seven different U.S. presidents.

The family moved to New Jersey, where Glenn became the executive director of the Housing Authority of Ocean City, N.J. Under his guidance, he transformed the image and safety of this integral community.

Glenn's athleticism made him and excellent golfer, which he enjoyed for many years. When he could no longer play the sports he loved, he was happiest watching the Eagles and Phillies, including attending a number of spring training games in Florida with family.
