Glen Edward Eggert Sr., 82, formerly of Curtice, Ohio, passed away Saturday, December 4, 2010 at his residence in Gibsonburg, Ohio.
Glen was born in Dundee, Michigan on August 18, 1928 to Elery and Jenny (Koster) Eggert. On October 18, 1947, he married Shirley Peppers and she survives. Glen's sister, Joyce (Eggert) Peppers was married to Shirley's brother, Bert Peppers; thus dubbing their offspring with the title of double-first cousins.

He was a longtime member of St. Luke'™s Lutheran Church in Curtice until moving in with his daughter in Gibsonburg, Ohio, where he attended Emmanuel Lutheran Church. Glen enjoyed deer hunting at his cabin in Roscommon, Michigan, fishing from his boat on Lake Erie, gardening, traveling, along with feeding deer and birds at his home. He was also an avid Michigan Wolverine Football fan.
