Wenatchee World - Sunday, May 15, 2011 Glen Coordes Rinker Oak Harbor, WA Glen Coordes Rinker passed on to Heaven on March 5, 2011, at the age of 94. Glen went peacefully in his sleep at Harbor Care, an "Advanced Assisted Living Home", in Oak Harbor, WA, attended to his last by his oldest son, Richard and his wife, Sheryl. Glen was born in ‘Wheat Country', in his family's homestead ranch house, in Douglas, WA, on May 21, 1916, to Oliver "O.C." and Amy Rinker. He was the oldest born of seven children. In his elementary school years, he attended a one-room schoolhouse in Douglas, graduating in 1935 from Waterville High School (four miles from Douglas). In 1940, Glen married a Wenatchee girl, Desire Phillippi and they began their life together by making their home in Seattle, WA, which was during the War years. Both of their biological children, Richard Leon and Trudy Fay, were born in Seattle; however upon the World War's completion, in 1945, they moved back to Waterville to raise their children. In 1950, they added Richard Lapthorn to their family. After the children's raising, in 1961, they moved back to Seattle, where Glen spent the next 20 years working as a Mechanic in the heavy equipment industry, specializing in Caterpillar and John Deere. When Glen retired in 1981, he had risen to the position of Shop Foreman, with 15 mechanics under his charge. Glen and Desire then, at retirement, moved back to Douglas County and purchased their final home in East Wenatchee. Together, they enjoyed their home until, after 67 years of marriage, Desire passed away in the summer of 2007. Glen then spent the remainder of his time here on the earth, enjoying "Assisted Living" homes, in the Communities of Moses Lake and Oak Harbor, WA. He spent, by his choice, his last two years at Regency on Whidbey/Harbor Care, Oak Harbor, WA, near his oldest son, Richard. Glen's Legacy — He loved his family and friends, (many of them lifelong); his roots in Douglas County; and Bowling, which he enjoyed for 56 years. A Special Tribute — Glen's lifetime of sacrificial, unconditional Loving of his family will forever be cherished and remembered, by all of us, who have had the pleasure of knowing him… He "was" and "still is", truly, One-of-a-kind… Glen was preceded in death by his parents; five brothers and sisters, Ethel, Elizabeth, Johnny, Douglas and Juanita; an infant baby girl; and several cherished in-laws. He is survived by his children; remaining youngest brother, Arvene and his wife, Gwen; and other remaining cherished in-laws. A Memorial/Graveside Service honoring Glen will be held at the Waterville Cemetery on Saturday, May 21, 2011, at 1:00 p.m., followed by fellowship and refreshments at the United Lutheran Church in Waterville. Arrangements are in care of Heritage Memorial Chapel of East Wenatchee.
