James Michael Glennon died October 16, at the age of 87.

Born August 27, 1927 in Stonehurst, Pennsylvania to James Joseph and Elizabeth (Railean) Glennon, he was a man of quiet intellect, gentle strength and resolute courage. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

James began his Army career as a member of US Occupation Forces in Germany where he met his loving wife, Ingrid. In addition to assignments in Germany, he served overseas in Japan as well as Viet Nam, where he was noncommissioned officer-in-charge of the biochemistry department of the 9th Medical Laboratory. During his tour of duty in Viet Nam, James was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for meritorious service during ground operations against enemy forces.

Retiring while stationed at the U.S. Army Medical Field Services School, Brooke Army Medical Center after 27 years of active duty, James embarked on a second career as a medical technologist/hospital lab manager. He worked at Park North General Hospital and Lutheran General Hospital while earning a BBA degree in Accounting from UTSA. A lover of music-especially choral arrangements-he enjoyed singing with the Beethoven Maennerchor in his later years.

James Glennon was preceded in death by his wife of 57 years, Ingrid W.E. Glennon and his grandson, Brent Bischoff.

He is survived by daughters Patricia Bischoff, husband Chris; Carol Hester, husband Doug; Diana Adelman, husband Robert; grandson Kurt Bischoff; granddaughter Sigrid Stern, husband Jordan; great-granddaughter Gillian Stern; sisters Teresa, Barbara, Bernadette, and brothers Vincent and Joseph.
