Glen Goodland Sr. passed away
May 2, 2012, at LaVilla Grande
Care Center after a four month
battle with cancer. He was 71.
Glen was born on September 21,
1940, in Racine, Wisconsin from
the union of Walter II and Ruth
Goodland. He spent his childhood
in Racine and graduated
from the Washington Park High
School. During seventh grade he met Judy Behnke and little would
they both know where this meeting would lead as they would become
high school sweethearts. On June 10, 1961, they would marry
in Racine, and from this union three children were born. In 1986,
Glen and Judy moved to California and spent 22 years in Upland
where Glen worked for the LA County Sheriff's Department.
Glen was a sheet metal worker attending Journeyman Sheet Metal
Trade School for five years and was a lifetime member of the Sheet
Metal Workers Labor Union.
His thirst for knowledge led Glen in many directions of interest
from a love of aviation in all forms to space travel and exploration to
quantum physics and model rockets. He enjoyed taking time deer
hunting, fishing, camping and reading on various subjects. He also
loved to spend time with his family playing cards or a board game,
times that will be missed.
Glen leaves behind his wife of 50 years, Judy Goodland of Grand
Junction; two sons, Glen Goodland Jr. of Edmond, OK; Gregg
Goodland of Florence, CO, and a daughter; Sarah Bradburn of
Grand Junction, CO; a brother, Walter S. Goodland III of New Iberia,
LA; five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
A funeral service will be held at 10:00 a.m., Monday, May 7, 2012,
at Martin Mortuary.
Memorial contributions in Glen's name may be made to the American
Diabetes Association, P.O. Box 11454, Alexandria, VA 22312.
