Glendon C. Dahlman

December 24, 1928 - May 21, 2020

Glendon "Glenn" Charles Dahlman passed away on May 21, 2020 at the age of 91. He was born on December 24,1928 to Glendon Carl and Ida Mae (Clark) Dahlman in Royal Oak. Glenn was rarely without a smile, a story or an opinion. He was a graduate of De La Salle High School and a proud veteran of the United States Marine Corps. He retired from the Michigan Consolidated Gas Company after a very satisfying career. The best decision of his life was when he married Jane Humbel on October 4, 1952. They had four children and also shared many life long friendships. After all their years together, she still laughed at his jokes and he still remembered what she was wearing when they first met. Glenn and his bride were avid world travelers: together they walked the Great Wall of China, sailed through the Panama Canal, enjoyed the view from the Eiffel Tower, toured the Egyptian pyramids and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Glenn truly had a wonderful life and has now joined his beloved daughter Mary. The family wishes to thank everyone at Rose Senior Living for the care and companionship provided to Glenn in his final years. He will be lovingly remembered by Jane, his wife of 67 years, and their children: Glendon "Chuck" Charles (Lynn), Thomas Matthew, Ann Catherine (John) Foster and the late Mary Elizabeth (Gerry) Kelly. He was the proud and loving grandfather of Carl (Shawn), David, Ann Marie, Natalie (Chase), Mark, Emily (John), Johnny and Elizabeth and the great grandfather of Chase and Mary Elizabeth. He was the dear brother of Bonna Santoro, Diane Modaff and the late Johanna Pfent. A memorial mass will be scheduled later along with an inurnment at Great Lakes National Cemetery, Holly.
