His beloved family includes many more nephews, nieces, cousins and in-laws. He is preceded in death by his father, mother, and five siblings. Glen was born on September 17, 1936 in San Fernando, California to Joseph Richard and Fairy Bell Bennett. After attending San Fernando Senior High School he served in the United States Air Force for four years. The time he served was during the Korean War and most of his tour was spent in Germany. Inspired by his brother, Joseph, he joined the Los Angeles Police Department in 1958. That same year Glen married Gloria Manteufel and together they raised their five children. Over the next twenty years, while faithfully performing his duties as a police officer and mentoring an LAPD sponsored Eagle Scout Troop, he was a loving and devoted father, an active member of his church, and participated in numerous political organizations. Upon retiring from the LAPD, Glen moved to Wisconsin where he later met and married Mary Kleiber in 2013. They enjoyed going to church, spending time with their friends and family, and, of course, dancing. Glen loved volleyball and spent much of his time on the court, often surprising his much younger teammates and opponents. He was charismatic and had so many friends and loved ones. Those who knew Glen admired his faith and character. He was a man who lived intentionally by principle and faith. A man of true integrity who would act the same regardless of who was watching. Always calm and collected rooted in his faith and intellect. He felt compelled to protect those who needed it and wasn't afraid to disagree with you or stand up for what was right. He listened intently in a way that made you feel like the only person in the room…a nod of the head and a long pause after hearing your thoughts before he would carefully respond. Accompanying his calm collected presence was a vibrant energy. An energy that fueled an infectious smile, a glimmer in his eye, and a relentless energy to dance his way through life. He always made an effort to be there for his children and grandchildren, never asking for anything in return, and always making it seem like his efforts were 'no big deal'.    Last September after multiple heart attacks, a terminal cancer diagnosis, and amidst a global pandemic, Glen still found a way to make it out to dance on his 84th birthday. He drove twenty five minutes to The Lure in Nekoosa, Wisconsin to see one of his favorite band members, Tom DeWitt. Dressed in his best polo, bright white tennis shoes, a perfect flaptop, and that infectious smile, he blissfully danced. Rest assured that there's at least one guy out on the dance floor in heaven today.   A funeral is scheduled for February 27th at John J Buettgen Funeral Home in Wisconsin Rapids. Visitation will begin at 10:00am with the service to follow at 11:00am. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Glen's life.
