MACON, Ga. — Robert Edwin “Bob” Glenn Jr. passed away Monday, Dec. 31, 2012, in Macon, Ga., at the age of 69.
Bob was born Sunday, April 18, 1943, in Tampa, Fla., the son of the late Leona McCracken-Butler and Robert Edwin Glenn Sr. Bob’s father, Robert Glenn Sr., was killed in combat actions during World War II, after which his mother Leona married his step-father, Richard Butler.
