By obits

Clifford A. Glass, 88, of Quakertown, formerly of the Mon Valley, died Friday, Oct. 7, 2022, in his home with his family and faithful Poppy Poo, Paulie by his side. He was a dedicated and loving husband to his late wife, Patricia L. Turek Glass, and never spent a night away from her for over 60 years before her passing. Born in the Mon Valley, he was the son of the late Ralph and Susan Timko Glass. He was last employed in the mailroom of the former CoreStates Bank. Before that, he was employed for over 35 years by U.S. Steel Fairless Works in Fairless Hills, Pa. He was a committed member of Steel Workers Union Local 4889. While working at Fairless Works, he enjoyed playing softball, bowling and golfing with his fellow employees. He was a basketball star while attending Rostraver High School. He also coached his sons in baseball. Cliff loved to tell the story how he had the good sense of not getting in a fight with Mike Ditka and instead the two enjoyed a beer together. Most of all, he was a dedicated, loving family man. He is survived by his children, Clifford (Patricia) of Chicago, Susan Vincent (Lawrence “Bud”) of Doylestown, Sharen Morgan of Sellersville, and Donald (Barbara) of Quakertown; grandchildren, Amanda (Chris), Edward, Patricia (Chris), Samantha (Daniel), Lauren (Kevin), John (Lauren), Alyssa (Michael), Alexa-Lynn (Tim) and Donnie; great-grandchildren, Matthew, Mikayla, Mason, Edward, Tarin, Alana, Ella and Kamren; and two sisters, Lois Vitale of Belle Vernon, and Shirley Blick (Herman) of the Villages, Fla. He was predeceased by two brothers, James and Donald. Services will be held at 11:30 a.m. Friday, Oct. 14, 2022, at C. R. STRUNK FUNERAL HOME INC., (www.crstrunk.com.) 821 W. Broad St., Quakertown, PA 18951. Call from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. in the funeral home. Memorial contributions can be made to the Upper Bucks SPCA, 60 Reservoir Rd., Quakertown, PA 18951.
