A native of Wisconsin, Ames was first commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Officers Reserve Corps on his graduation from the University of Illinois in 1935. After earning his law degree from USC in 1937, he served in what he termed "the old horse cavalry," patroling the Mexican border. Assigned to the 41st Infantry Division during World War II, Ames served in Australia, New Guinea, the then Dutch East Indies and the Philippines, rising to the rank of lieutenant colonel. At the end of the war, he was the intelligence officer in a task force that occupied the Hiroshima-Kure area and accepted the surrender of the remaining Imperial Japanese Navy. After his occupation duty in Japan, he returned to the United States to practice law in Encino, specializing in probate and corporate law. Ames remained an officer in the U.S. Army Reserve. He switched to the California National Guard in 1951. He is survived by his wife, Maxine; son, Glenn C. Ames Jr.; daughter, Jodi Ames Mulliniks; a sister, and two granddaughters. He died at age 77 of heart failure. LA Times, October 7, 1990
