Chaplin Butch who provided Glen his last spiritual support. Glen attended Central Valley schools, and graduated from Central Valley High School 1963. Post-secondary education Columbia Falls, WA., majoring in classical music and gaming. He worked for Burlington Northern Railroad as a brakeman for thirty six years. Actually, worked part time for the BN, able to accomplish eight hours of work in four in order that he hook up his boat and go fishing - sometimes hunting, maybe even golf or poker game. Produced his own fishing equipment and arrowheads. A gun collector, but finally gave up hunting and sold his weapons. Glen was his mother's caregiver for eleven years. Six years in his home. In addition, he took care of his father for five years until his death in 2005. Working part time for the railroad provided him the opportunity to be his parent's caregiver on a full time basis. As a Viet Nam disabled vet with PTSD, he was obsessed with working and taking care of his mom. Boat was stored and fishing did not occur during the eleven years of caregiving. The last three years of his life, he learned to play computer Texas Hold'm poker and produced 72 million points in about three months. He was a Washington State Texas Hold'm champion in 1992. As his mother's caregiver, he enjoyed watching his mom spend hours at local casinos playing the one armed bandits while he spent his time at the poker table. An avid gardener, always the best lawn in the neighborhood, largest veggies. Extremely generous. A chef who loved to cook and eat, providing his mom with a different menu at every meal. Cancer reared its ugly head in February 2011. Familiar and unfamiliar oppressors heightened his cancer by creating unconscionable stress, the oppressors thereby failing to promote humankind. He never adjusted to the system the oppressors delivered thereby advancing the cancer at an extremely rapid rate. The cancer was finally diagnosed as excruciatingly painful bone cancer. He never acknowledged the severity of the diagnosis or the stress related thereto and finally succumbed quietly and peacefully. Funeral service will begin at high noon, Saturday, November 30, 2013 Riplinger Funeral Home, 4305 N. Division, Spokane, WA. At Glen's request, his brother Gordon will officiate. Military honors at graveside. He will be buried in his mom's crypt at South Pines Cemetery. A light lunch will be provided by Harold and Barbara Fettig at the conclusion of graveside service. Location to be announced. Online guestbook at www.riplingers.com Published in Spokesman-Review on Nov. 21, 2013
