Glenn William Bumpus joined his son Timothy Glenn with God in heaven on Tuesday June 16, 2009 at the age of 73. He is survived by his wife Patricia, 8 children, 5 son-in-laws, 2 daughter-in-laws and 22 grandchildren. Next to his love of God, he had great love for his wife of 51 years, his children and grandchildren. He was devoted to them!
Glenn was born in Poplar Bluff Missouri to William Roy Bumpus and Ruth Belle Nance Bumpus, on Dec. 2, 1935. He was the youngest of 8 children. He is survived by 2 sisters Margaret and Anna Marie along with the rest of their large extended family.
Glenn spent a big part of his working life as a salesman. Some of the things he loved doing were being silly, teasing his grandkids, playing cards, a game of pool, bowling, pitching for the men’s church softball team, but his favorite thing was going fishing.
Next to God and his family the thing closest to his heart was his music! He played several instruments and loved to sing. He was a member of the choir at Prince of Peace Catholic Church. Glenn passed this great love of music on to his kids and grandkids.
Glenn was a very out going person. He had the ability to talk to people, even if he just met you, as if you were long time friends. He had a great sense of humor and loved sharing laughter. He was always big into telling a good joke.
We will be honoring, remembering and celebrating Glenn’s life with a funeral Mass at Prince of Peace Catholic Church, 6320 Bennett Rd., JAX, FL 32216 on June 27, 2009 at 10:00am. Immediately following will be a graveside service at Greenlawn Cemetery, 4300 Beach Blvd., JAX, FL 32207.
The family suggests contributions in the name of Glenn William Bumpus be sent to your favorite Cancer foundation.
