Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.
Edward Allen Glenn, “Eddie”, 75, of Salisbury, NC (formerly of Sugarcreek & Wintersville, Ohio), passed away peacefully on Palm Sunday, April 14th, 2019 at the Glenn Kiser Hospice House. He fought a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. Edward was born on November 11th, 1943 in Steubenville, Ohio.
He is survived by his wife, Cindi, who he married October 10th 1975; daughters, Tracey McKenzie (husband, Todd) of Salisbury, NC; Tammy Glenn of Covington, GA; and Kathi Lowry (husband, Kevin) of Pickerington, Ohio. Ed also had many grandchildren and a few great grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by parents, Harold and Ruth Glenn; brothers, Charles and Robert; his infant sister, Barbara and grandson, Jefforey.
Ed was an avid Ohio State Buckeye Football fan. He also loved to watch and attend Nascar races often with his best buddy, Bill. In the last few years, Ed also had a passion for riding his ventrac tractor which he said allowed him to relax and enjoy the outdoors all at once.
For 37 years, Ed worked for Wheeling Pittsburg Steel where he picked up the nickname, Eddie. Upon retiring, Ed took on a second career driving the #222 Tanker Truck for Gordon Milk where he met his dear friend, Rodney. This second career was the perfect place for Ed to socialize with people which he loved to do. He used to say, “there weren’t any strangers in this world just people he hadn’t got a chance to meet yet.” His family is sure he is in heaven now greeting lots of new and old friends and family.
Ed was a loving father, husband and friend, and he will be forever missed and remembered as a lovable jokester who adored people.
There is no service scheduled at this time. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made in his honor to New Pointe Community Church, 3950 OH-39 Dover, Ohio 44622, or to the Glenn Kiser Hospice House,1229 Statesville Blvd. Salisbury, NC 28144.

I’ve Known Ed for two years meat him at a Christmas Eve service at church. He was a true cut up, friendly and kind. Shortly after I began to cut Ed’s hair, where we became friends. I’d explained the love and respect I have for his daughter my trainer and friend. He would love how I would express how she kicked my ass on a daily. Knowing her I knew him. Ed and I would talk about trucking I’m always on the road, and my husband works for Freightliner. So I think he thought of me as like talking to one of the guys. I will miss Ed and our conversations. But I’m so happy he is not suffering and pain free. He is in peace now. Love and prayers to All. Hot Huffman out. Inside joke

Carol Glenn says
He was my favorite cousin and always made me feel welcome when I came home for Aunt Ann. His was not a dry sense of humor but direct, observant and made my belly hurt from laughing. He was always kind to me. Although I’ve not seen him in years, I am overcome with sadness.????
Thank you Ed for being you.????

John Hyde, retired pastor says
i have known Eddie since I was 12 yrs old. Growing up Eddie, his brothers and myself would play basketball in an old run-down barn back in the woods. I never really got to know Eddie until his brother Chuck’s funeral and he called upon me to conduct his funeral and later on his brother Bob’s funeral and from then on we have stayed in contact. Eddie was always concerned about my health. He shared a great blessing with me when he told me he had re-dedicated his life to the Lord. I am glad I was a friend to Eddie.
Lori Cass says
