He served and participated in "Operations Crossroads Atomic Bomb Testing" in the Marshall Islands. Glen served his country proudly and was proud to be a Navy Veteran. Glen was employed at Thilmany Paper Mill for over 40 years until his retirement. In his retirement years he loved to take care of all of his grandchildren. They became the light of his life! He also enjoyed the addition of his lake home at Legend Lake where he could fix more things, relax on his pontoon boat, fishing, and eating Cheetos surrounded by his best fur friends; Maggie and DJ. Glen was a very faith filled man and an active member of St. Aloysius parish for many years. He was happiest with a dog at his side and a baby to rock on his lap! Glen met and married the "love of his life", Patricia (Taylor) Lappen on October 6, 1951 in Kaukauna, she survives. From that marriage came 4 children (all whom survive him today): son: Tom (Mary) and their 2 daughters: Rebecca, Appleton and Elizabeth, Pennsylvania; twin daughters: Kay (Michel) DeYoung, Appleton, WI and her 2 sons: Matthew Verhagen, Appleton and Joshua Verhagen, Kaukauna; Karen (Dean) Sinclair, Jackson, WI and their 2 daughters: Lieza Sinclair, Kaukauna and Lauren (Nate) Evans, Milwaukee; son, Tim (Michelle Neeck) Lappen and their daughter; Chloe Lappen, Appleton; great-grandchildren: Elijah (Buddy) Sinclair, twins: Faith and Will Evans, Audrey Evans and Nahla Sinclair. Glen is further survived by his brother Bill (Ellen) Lappen, Oconto Falls, WI; 2 brothers-in-law: William (Branca) Taylor, Littleton, CO and Richard (Marge) Taylor; sister-in-law: Mary (Taylor) and Carl Engerson, Mobile, AL; and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his: parents, 2 brothers and a sister-in-law, Robert, Don (Mary) Lappen, mother-in-law and father-in-law, Marie Taylor McGinnis and Lyle McGinnis.
