Glenn R. Siler ’50

He graduated from Normandy High School in St. Louis and entered Princeton in 1944. His college career was interrupted by a stint in the Army from 1945 to 1947 as an infantry officer. Returning to Princeton, he received the Fitzpatrick Award in track (for shot put and discus), and was president of the St. Louis Club. Glenn majored in the SPIA and belonged to Tower. He graduated in 1950, which became his class of choice.

Two days after graduation, he married Joan Weyand, but soon thereafter was called to active duty in Korea. Assignments during his two years there included being a member of Adm. C. Turner Joy’s Armistice Commission and administrative aide-de-camp to Gen. James Van Fleet.

After returning to St. Louis, he began a 37-year business career in sales and marketing, first with Ralston Purina, then Time Life in Chicago, and finally with Roman Meal Co. in St. Louis, from which he retired in 1987 as vice presidentof marketing.

He and Joan were world travelers, visiting more than 50 countries. He was an enthusiastic golfer, an avid gardener, and a lifelong philatelist.

Glenn is survived by Joan; their sons, Glenn Jr., Jeffrey, and Todd; eight grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren. We extend our sympathy to them all.
