Biography:
Eulogy written by son Daniel W Glasheen;
Growing up in Kaukauna, Dad's parents had on their bookshelf, a collection of the great classical authors. Probably 30 books in all. Growing up without the mind numbing distractions of today, Dad, in his readings traveled the world. He saw the depth of history, learned the art of language, witnessed the struggles people go thru. He learned the role of government and the art of politics. These lessons served him in later years as he went door to door on political campaigns. Developing his skills in the art of debate and compromise in his service as an alderman for the City of Kaukauna.
Working as a writer of newspapers, a News Director of radio stations, a broadcaster of current event talk shows, He learned how to use words to enlighten and explain. His strongest tools were a typewriter and an inquiring mind. He worked as a grade school teacher and mentor for high school students teaching the use of language and appreciation of literature.
Many times Dad told me, the writer who had the greatest impact on his life, was Rudyard Kipling. Kipling traveled the world; a soldier, a civil servant, a recorder of history. His writings highlighted the man who did the dirty work of the world.
Dad enlisted in the Air Force after high school. After surviving a few plane crashes, Dad decided that duty closer to the ground was more to his liking. As a Military Policeman he was sent to North Africa. At his duty station he served alongside the French Foreign Legion and was a witness to the revolt in Morocco. He returned to the states and in his duties saw the Atomic Bomb tests in the deserts. He was there for the fast cars and pick-up trucks of Texas in the 1950's.
He returned home to become a police officer for the City of Kaukauna. The friendships and experiences from those years still form the kindling of laughs and stories around the bar.
He continued his military service for over 20 years with the Army Reserve. As a tanker and drill sergeant he was respected and gave inspiration to the soldiers he served with.
In his retirement years, he never forgot where the Glasheen family came from. A bunch of poor Irishmen, struggling to make a living on the farms of Hollandtown. He researched the history of our family back to the hills of Ireland and learned the family has one common thread. We might not be the ones you want to marry your daughter, but you want us with you in a fight.
The picture I am always going to keep in my heart, is Dad, smiling, standing next to the street sign, of Glasheen Road in Cork, in the shadow of his great grandfather. With all of the people and experiences along the way, that finally brought him back home.
