Glenn was born June 5, 1945 in Pittsburgh, PA to the late Emory and Anna Huch. He attended the University of Pittsburgh and was honorably discharged from the United States Army. Glenn joined Mack Trucks, Inc. in 1969 as an engineer and worked there for 38 years. Glenn was very proud to work for Mack Truck and was fortunate to serve leading roles in multiple areas such as engineering, quality manufacturing and had a foreign assignment to Australia. Glenn loved his work but it was not the definition of his identity. He coached little league baseball and loved outdoor activities. He was meticulous about taking care of his lawn, house and vehicles – a form of relaxation for him. He was an avid skier and he and his young family spent many winters enjoying skiing several nights a week. Glenn was a tremendous Pittsburgh Steeler’s fan and enjoyed riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle. Glenn was fortunate to travel to Europe, Mexico, Australia and Japan as well as many places in the United States. He very much enjoyed his Bible study at St. John Neumann Catholic Church where he was a member of the parish. In addition to his wife Karen, he is survived by his children; Eric and Cheryl; grandchildren, Ashley, Jennings, Benjamin and Joseph and brothers, Ronald and Alan.
