Glenn A. Hacker Jr. ’49

Glenn died Oct. 27, 2017, in Bonner, Mont. He had lived in the area for many years. He first worked with two architectural firms, and then worked for 26 years with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service in Missoula.

Glenn’s father was an architect, and Glenn came to Princeton from Fort Lee, N.J., to pursue a degree in civil engineering. He was a member of Cloister Inn and the Princeton student chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers. Upon graduation he went to work in Kalispell, Mont., as an architectural draftsman. After 13 years with two private firms, Glenn joined the engineering division of the Wildlife Service, retiring in 1989.

Glenn was an active member of the Presbyterian Church and a Scottish-Rite Mason for 50 years. He raced his Class B hydroplane in many regattas and also belonged to a Geritol golf league, where his  “name always gets a smile when I go to a new course,” as he put it.

Glenn married Julie Ann Case, the daughter of a cattle rancher, July 12, 1958. She predeceased him in August 2016. They had five children, Annabelle, Mary, Joanna H. Gutierrez, George, and Donna; and six grandchildren. All of them survive him.

Our sympathy goes to all of Glenn’s family.
