He is believed to be one of the longest surviving persons with his specific injury. Though confined to a wheelchair for his remaining 55 years, Glenn's mind, creativity, hope, determination and faith were never limited.

Henry Radio Electronics in Washington Boro and successfully operated it first as a CB radio sales/repair shop, then expanded to incorporate fire/police radio apparatus. Along the journey, he invented ways and tools that allowed his limited mobility to successfully navigate the repair and business world. He sold the business in 2000 and "retired."

Glenn incorporated others into his life, partially out of necessity, but mostly because of his love for teaching and mentoring others. Over the decades, dozens of neighborhood kids spent summers helping Glenn with yardwork and building projects that he designed. He also gave freely of his time to volunteer and serve others. These included the Washington Boro Goodwill Fire Company, (becoming an honorary auxiliary member), Blue Rock Heritage Center, the Washington Boro Historical Society for Susquehanna River Heritage, service to deployed troops through connecting and coordinating local families with service men/women in the Middle East so they received cards, packages and Christmas trees, co-teaching Wednesday night clubs at Manor Church, and local Native American history including presentations to area groups. Glenn enjoyed hunting, fishing and woodworking. He was always one to tinker, learn and invent.

Surviving in addition to his wife, Glenn is survived by three children and nine grandchildren. Michael B. (Grace E.) Julian; Abigail, Matthew and Elijah. Susan G. Aldinger (Raymond J. Pennino); Dakota (Megan), and Skyler. And David Y. (Nicole B.) Julian; Kadia (Matt), Bryce, Nyssa and Tayah. He will be sorely missed by all including his service dog: Ellie. Glenn was preceded in death by his brother: Herbert J. Henry.

In Glenn's words: "Lord, you helped me go through what I needed to go through and through it all, the honor and glory was yours."

Eugene A. "Jeep" Charles, 92, of Lancaster, passed away on Wednesday, June 16, 2021. He was the husband of the late Vera M. (Herr) Charles who passed away on January 30, 2017. They celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary on September 15, 2016. Eugene was born in Bausman, son of the late Phares B. and Jennie M. (Gamble) Charles. Eugene was a member of Central Manor Church of God for more than 60 years. He graduated from McCaskey High School in 1946 and from Franklin & Marshall College in 1950 with a BS Degree in Chemistry. Eugene was employed by Wyeth Laboratories, Marietta, for 36 years, where he was supervisor of the Analytical Chemistry Lab, retiring in 1987. He served two years in the US Army during the Korean Conflict, being sent to Europe and assigned to the European Command Laboratory in Heidelberg, Germany. He worked as an analytical chemist for 14 months until his discharge. After years of collecting antiques by attending public auctions, mostly in Lancaster County, Eugene and his wife were antique dealers, exhibiting shows in Lancaster and York Counties and he had a wealth of knowledge in the antique world and touched so many that came to know and respect him. His other interests included fishing, hunting, gardening, a 25 tree orchard and beekeeping. Eugene was also referred to as "Jeep". He had a great love for college ball, especially Penn State football and the North Carolina Tar Heels!

He is survived by cousins: David L. and Lynda A. Charles, Millersville, both of whom he often referred to as his "son and daughter".

Dave and Lynda would like to especially thank Hospice for their exceptional care during Eugene's last days.
