GLIDDEN, RICHARD "DICK"

Dick served his country in the United States Air Force, worked with Harding's Friendly Markets, and Spartan Stores and was an avid golfer and a lover of life! He was an active member of the Shriners in which he served as a clown for many years. He lived his entire life in Kalamazoo County and wintered in Cape Canaveral, FL at his condo near Cocoa Beach. Dick loved the sunshine and his family immensely.
He is preceded in death by his loving wife Sally (Morell) Glidden who passed in January of 2001 and his companion of 20- years Peggy DeMink who passed December of 2020.
