LARRY GLENN HIERONYMUS HIGH POINTMr. Larry Glenn Hieronymus, age 79, entered into eternal rest April 04, 2020 at his daughter's High Point home in North Carolina. He was a resident of Wilmington where he lived and maintained a home. He was born in Heidelberg, KY to the Late Cordy Harvey and Maude Cole Hieronymus.

Captain Glenn was extremely passionate about health and food science and created a holistic wellness tea called "Life Elixir" sold nationwide. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his daughter Holly Hieronymus, and Brother George Hieronymus. Captain Glenn never met a stranger. He had a heart of gold and a twinkle is his baby blue eyes and was always there to help anyone in the community and felt the need to help fellow Veterans. He had a keen eye for photography and capturing nature in special moments. He enjoyed listening to bluegrass, cooking fresh local seafood, frequent trips to the farmer's market, boating, walks on the beach and sitting on the porch with a fine cigar. Survivors include the mother of his children Marlene Hieronymus, son, Daniel Glenn Hieronymus (Charlotte) of Hilton Head, SC; daughters, Tande Ann Dembinski (Robert) of High Point, Tracy Hieronymus Mullins (Andrew) of Wilmington, and Renee Smith of Wilmington; two brothers Cordy and Harvey Hieronymus both of Wilmington; six grandchildren, Elijah Hieronymus, Ella Grace Berkey, Anderson Mullins, Lydia, Logan, and Kirby Smith. His ashes will be scattered in the ocean off Wrightsville Beach and because of his fun loving spirit, a celebration of life will be July 12, 2020, which would have been his 80th birthday. Memorial contributions may be made in his honor to local fisherman through the North Carolina Waterman United or his love of helping Vets through Wounded Warriors.

Truly saddened to learn about Capt. Glen's passing.

Wilmington, our former Piedmont Airlines domicile of many years, provided so many fond memories.
One in particular being having flown with Capt Glen.

We began our friendship in the late 70s, inside the cockpit of the Nihon YS-11 turbo aircraft.
Flying together for Piedmont Airlines. Back in the day, our flying was puddle jumping from
one small county airport to the next.
One really gets to know a person in that confined environment flying from dawn to sunset and beyond.
Capt Glen was an excellent aviator. He always took great pride in his flying. Was a joy working with him.
He consistently made some of the best darn landings of all the pilots I ever had the privilege to fly with.

Though we never fished together, when docking at his fish market to offload my catch, he was often
there working his retail operation. Interacting with customers as though they were all long time friends.
He had such a personable friendly way about him. Those who knew him were better for it.

Capt. Glen will always be remembered for the fine gentleman he was.
Just one friendly down to earth caring good soul.
And one hell of an Aviator !

God bless his family.
May he Rest In Peace...

I met Glenn while both of us were in the Navy and I believe he was an Air Traffic Controller, as I was while in the Navy. Glenn being from Wrightsville Beach and me from Kure Beach, we became good friends. God Bless you Glenn and all your family. It was nice to be your friend, Ray Rothrock

I got to see him at Tidal Creek Co-op several times recently. Always a kind word and a smile. I did some work on his restaurant years ago. Glad I got to see him again.
