Roger Glenn Obituary
July 6, 1938 - January 22, 2025
LAKE GEORGE - Roger King Glenn passed away peacefully at home in Lake George, January 22, 2025. He was born on July 6, 1938 at home in North Creek the son of Dr. James Alexander and Ruth King Glenn.
He began his education in North Creek, then went to Glens Falls Junior High, and graduated from Darrow School, New Lebanon, NY. Roger then attended Hudson Valley Community College. He was a sergeant in the Army National Guard.
On March 18, 1961 he married Lynda Nitz of Troy, New York. After several years of living in Troy they moved to the Glens Falls area and in 1977 to Lake George.
They had two sons, Timothy Jay and Kurtis Christopher.
Roger began his employment with Mohawk Brush Co in Quality Control. They moved to Glens Falls in 1970 to manage McNeil Fence and then worked for Woodbury Lumber Co managing Harvest Homes. In 1979, he opened his own business, Canvas Covers Cushions Specialties retiring in 2007
Growing up in North Creek, Roger was an avid skier. He joined the National Ski Patrol in 1968 and over the years served as First Aid Instructor and examiner, Section Chief, and Regional Director. In 1982 he was awarded one of the National Ski Patrols highest honors, a national number.
Roger was a trustee, elder, and faithful member of Caldwell Presbyterian Church. He was a life long church goer and found great strength, love, and power from his relationship with God.
Roger was a loving husband, father, and Gump. Through the years they canoed and camped with friends, skied in several states and in Switzerland, and traveled to many vacation areas. Each fall he loved to hunt in the Adirondacks with his hunting buddies. In their later years, Roger and Lynda took a month in the spring and fall touring the country doing one or two states in depth in their RV, did several cattle drives, and spent a week riding the Apache Trail in New Mexico. He was a cowboy at heart.
Roger is survived by his wife, Lynda; two sons, Tim of Kingsbury, K.C. and his wife Becky of Hudson Falls; loving grandchildren, Kyle and Kendall; brother, Randolph and his wife Barbara; and several nieces and nephews.
A celebration of Life will be held at Caldwell Presbyterian Church, 71 Montcalm Street, Lake George on Saturday, February 1, 2025 at 11 a.m. followed by a reception in the church hall with the family. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Caldwell presbyterian Church.

Dear Lynda, Tim, KC, Randy, and family,
My memories of your beloved Roger go all the way back to the summer of 1970, the Stroms' first summer in Woodfin Park where our yards looked over each other. Roger's ever-present smile and laughter were the expression of his very soul, and the foundation that our relationships, which started as mere neighbors but grew into deep mutual friendships of love and caring, were built upon. Jobs that needed to be done in the park, Roger was an ever-present volunteer, whether dock-building, lawn care, or road maintenance. A legendary card player on your fantastic porch, an avid swimmer, both in daylight and moonlight (so I heard ;)) , a reliable skipper in his sailboat, in general the man of the hour. He was always a part of things, a full participant in all he did, whether his hand held a hammer, a rake, a sewing needle, or your heart.
In the latter years of my own parents' lives, I observed first hand his skills in first aid, not only of the body, but of the soul. He understood humanity, in its joys and sorrows, and gave to others of himself when they were in deepest need. His quiet eloquence in standing with people in their trauma, guiding them to their better safety, will be his greatest gift to me, and I think exemplifies his life. Lynda, please know that you too are a shining example of this sensitivity and deep caring for and ministering to others, and I think it's one of the reasons you and Roger were such a wonderful pair in your lives together.
Roger has finished his shift here on this earth, but now continues in joy and love with our Lord in heaven. While we grieve our loss of his presence here (and I am crying as I type), I think the men (and women) of Woodfin are having a reunion in heaven that is filled with great laughter just as they did for so many years on Memorial Day weekend as we started our summers together.
Sending so much love to you all as I hold sacred space for you in prayer,
Neva D.

Roger, to me, will always be remembered as a Salt o' the earth man, so friendly and cared about all, especially his wife and family. He was a very active and adventurous man, who I loved to hunt with in Schoharie county, memories I'll always have. Thanks for being a great neighbor and friend to my family, may you RIP after a solid run in life. Garth Field
