Glenn Stearns Obituary

Stearns, Glenn H.

Glenn H. Stearns, 48, of 4509 E. Seneca Rd, Trumansburg, passed away peacefully at Cayuga Medical Center on March 10th. Born August 6, 1966, Glenn was a very lovable, feisty man, who developed many friendships throughout his life. Glenn had a unique personality and always found his way into the hearts of all who knew him. Glenn enjoyed spending his days at Seneca Cayuga ARC, historically at JM Murray Center, and valued time with his dear friend Allen Quirk. Glenn enjoyed collecting sports magazines, coloring, eating out, watching TVLand, and listening to music by the Monkees. Glenn was a man of habit and enjoyed spending his time relaxing at home, where he was dearly loved by many staff members and housemates. Glenn was part of a small family, predeceased by his parents, Paul H. Stearns and Angela (Morgia) Stearns, and his brother, Kevin P. Stearns. Glenn was part of the Franziska Racker Center Family and had many friends throughout the years who will remember him fondly. Franziska Racker Centers would like to thank the staff at E. Seneca Road, Cayuga Medical Center, and all those who surrounded Glenn with love and support throughout his life. A Funeral Mass will be held at 11am, Wednesday, March 18th at Holy Cross Church at 375 South George Road, Freeville. Friends are invited to call at the church from 10-11am prior to the Funeral Mass. Perkins Funeral Home is assisting. www.perkinsfuneralhome.com

Paul and Angie were friends of ours when Paul sang in the St.Paul's methodist choir with us over 50 years ago. Paul's father, then the pastor of the Newark NY Methodist church, baptized me when I was very young. Paul and Angie loved their sons dearly. We're thankful that we were their friends.
