March 4, 1960-Nov. 24, 2025 

Glenn was born in Glendale to Robert and Glenda Eichensehr. He was the third of nine children and the oldest son. 

When Glenn was 2 years old he came down with spinal meningitis. The procedure that was used to save his life left him deaf and consequently mute. This condition was thought of as being a handicap but Glenn possessed the confidence along with a stubbornness that would allow him to rise above that. He was enrolled at the California School for the Deaf at Riverside where it was felt that its methods gave him the best opportunity to receive a quality education. 

After graduating from C.S.D.R., Glenn attended Gallaudet University where he discovered his love of travel. Weekends and holiday breaks were spent exploring the East Coast visiting historical sights and familiarizing himself with the big cities. Glenn loved meeting new people and easily made friends. As a teenager he spent a great amount of his time at the Montrose shopping park where he would pick up work with any number of the merchants updating displays or organizing inventory. After he returned home from college Glenn spent some time crisscrossing the country selling high-end lamps from his sister’s factory. Never one to be shy, Glenn would walk into a shop and, with the aid of his notebook, he would introduce himself, state his business and proceed with his sales pitch. This approach endeared him to so many who admired him for his grit and determination. 

Next, Glenn enrolled at Pasadena City College to finish earning a degree. For the past 30 years, he was an operations manager for PYRAMplex, offering goods and services to the deaf community.  It is worthy to note that there were two events that gave to Glenn some of what his deafness had denied him. The first was the rise in popularity of disco music. Its booming beat and accompanying lights gave him a taste of what music was about. The other was the internet … more specifically social media, which made it possible to communicate with the masses. 

Glenn loved his family and friends. He was a loyal and caring person who will be missed by many. The love, respect and admiration of all who knew him was well-deserved.                                                                     

Glenn is survived by his sisters Denise, Gayleen and Shona (and their spouses Rob, Bruce and Nick); brothers David, Robert Joseph and Francis (and their spouses Marina, Jane and Lisa); his Aunt Edith, and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Glenn was predeceased by his parents Robert and Glenda, his sister Darlene, his brother Charles.

Services for Glenn will be on Saturday, Jan. 24 at 11 a.m. at Holy Redeemer Church, 2411 Montrose Ave. in Montrose.
