Robert Glas Obituary
Robert “Bob” Warren Glas of Onaga, Kansas passed away with his family by his side on November 9, 2024 at the age of 68.
He will be remembered by his wife of 51 years, Patricia; daughter Barbara and son R. Sean (Victoria); and grandchildren, Brayden, Paul, Luke and Thea. He is survived by his brother, Brad.
He was predeceased by his parents, George and Harriet Claire Glas.
Bob was born in Southampton, New York, and spent over four decades navigating the seven seas as a ship’s captain. Although he occasionally missed academic or professional accomplishments of his family due to his travels, he admired and was proud of his wife and children. He considered his greatest accomplishment was his children’s success. Bob also had a soft spot for fostering dogs.
At Bob’s request, no service will be held. Donations to American Cancer Society, in honor of Robert Glas’ memory would be appreciated.
The family wishes to send a special thank you to the staff at KUMC ER and intensive care, especially Patient Care Unit 65, for their care and compassion.
