John Glynn Conley Jr.

Glynn and his wife, Ann, enjoyed 43 years of marriage. He was a loving husband and father.

All who knew Glynn will remember him for his kindness and for his astounding talent for telling jokes, on request, on any subject you could name, often accompanied by its own funny story about when he learned the joke or the other people he told it to at just the perfect time.

He was a fourth-grade teacher for many years, first at Guardian Angel, and then at University Liggett School for thirty-five years, from 1974 to 2009, where his talents for jokes of all kinds served his students well. He too was a student at ULS, then Grosse Pointe University School (Class of 1959), where he was an all-state athlete in football and baseball, both sports that he went on to coach for the school for many years. As a baseball coach, he was inducted into the Michigan High School Hall of Fame.

Glynn is dearly loved by his wife Ann, his daughter Kate, his sisters Tina Elliott and Vicki (Pat) Springstead, his brother Kevin (Amy), his many nieces, nephews, cousins, and lifelong friends, who can all remember at least one of his jokes which they will treasure and tell forever.

Arrangments have been handled by Peters Funeral Home. A memorial and celebration of Glynn’s life will be held at a later date, when, as he dearly wished, there will be baseball again and a new President.

Memorial donations in Glynn's memory may be made to the University Liggett Baseball Program, 1045 Cook Rd., Grosse Pointe Woods, MI 48236.
