His parents moved to Scottsbluff where he attended school until they moved to Gering where he graduated. After graduation in 1962, he went to work for Terry Carpenter. He married Janice Rahmig on April 26, 1964 to which his two daughters were born, Carrie Jan and Christina Dawn. Glenn enlisted and was active in the Army National Guard from 1966-1969. He also worked at Magnolia, drove a semi-truck for Al Cook and Steve Haun and started work for the Gering Police Department where he finished 20+ years in the law enforcement. During those years, Glenn progressed up the ladder. Glenn was involved in many events and associations, including the Tri-State Peace Officers, where he was the recipient of many shooting awards for his service in Northern Colorado and the Southern Wyoming Detective Association. He attended several training schools and academies, earning numerous awards for his service. Glenn was the detective Sergeant for several years before leaving the force in 1984. He moved to Lincoln for a new start in sales. Since home was where his hearts was, he moved back to Gering in 1985. This is when he started his career in the car business working at Dalton’s Auto Center, then moving to Ft. Collins, Colo. in 1990 to work at Spadley-Barr Ford. After divorcing Jan in 1974, Glenn was married to Vicki Dilling on Nov. 5, 1998. After about 15 years in the car business, he went to work for his brother Dan Schwartzkopf as board representative for Front Range Clean Cities. After a few short years there, he officially retired. He remained in Colorado until September of 2013, when he moved to Copperas Cove, Texas to be with his wife’s family. At that time he was diagnosed with his brain tumor and that is where his battle ended. Glenn lived life to the fullest. His biggest fulfillment were his kids and grandkids. He was always so proud of them and loved spending time with them. He was involved in so, so many activities and hobbies throughout his life. He was a member of the Scottsbluff Saddle Club where he played and competed in Cowboy Polo, riding his favorite horse County Capri. Glenn raced stock cars, was on his brother Dan’s drag racing team, loved hunting, fishing, boating, water skiing, competitive shooting, Husker and Bronco football and believe it or not he was an amazing cook. Glenn also spoke during his law enforcement career at surrounding schools and was involved with giving classes and seminars for crime scene investigation. There are so many other areas of life he was involved with that are just too numerous to mention. Glenn impacted everyone he was around. Always the practical joker, telling jokes and just being with friends and family, there was never a shortage of laughter and great memories made when you were with him. Glenn will be missed greatly. His firm handshake and strong hugs will also be missed very much.
