Glen Culp Obituary
PEORIA - Glen C. Culp, age 97, of Peoria passed away peacefully on Friday, April 29, 2016, at his home, surrounded by his family.
Glen was born on February 24, 1919, in Peoria to Frank and Mae (Gunter) Culp. He married Vonee Esta on September 15, 1939. She preceded him in death on July 14, 2013.
Glen is survived by his sons, Gareth Culp and Danny Culp, both of Peoria; daughter-in-law, Melissia of Peoria; great-granddaughter, Paige Bragg of Peoria; and stepdaughter, Missy Culp of Bartonville.
He was preceded in death by his parents, wife and granddaughter, Cindy.
Glen was a lifetime employee of Cilco, and served as a Property Accountant for the company. He was an avid fan of the Chicago Cubs, and also loved collecting coins and toy cars. Glen was one of the original Blue Coat Volunteers for Proctor Hospital and enjoyed doing that in his free time. He was a past member of the Shrine, a member of American Legion Post #1, and a veteran of the United States Navy. While in the Navy, he earned the opportunity to be a radio operator for Admiral Nimitz, which Glen was very proud of.
Glen was a very loving and devoted father and cared for his children above all else. He will be greatly missed.
A funeral service for Glen will be held on Wednesday, May 4, 2016, at 12 noon at Cumerford-Hurd Funeral Home in Peoria. The Reverend Raymond Harrison will officiate. A visitation will be held one hour prior at the funeral home. Interment will be in Swan Lake Memory Gardens.

An excerpt from the Navy Hymn:
Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who biddest the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!
Glen Culp was a proud member of the United States Navy and an honored member of American Legion Post 2.
He will always be remembered as
"one of us."
