Glenn H. Lunger, 89, of Danville PA passed away peacefully on Thursday, August 24, 2023, at Mansion Nursing Home in Sunbury PA.

He was born November 19, 1933, in Danville, the son of the late Howard L. and Lorene M. Kocher Lunger.

He was a 1951 graduate of Danville High School.

Devoted to serving his country, Glenn enlisted in the Air Force on February 19, 1953. For four years, he proudly served his country until his honorable discharge on February 18, 1957, attaining the rank of S/SGT. Glenn's service to his nation instilled in him values of discipline, integrity, and a strong work ethic that he carried throughout his lifetime.

Glenn was a real estate broker for many years in the Danville area.

In earlier years, he was a member of Mausdale United Church of Christ, where he was always willing to help whenever the need would arise.

Glenn thoroughly enjoyed motorcycle riding. He found joy in simple pleasures. Whether it was spending quality time with his children and cherished grandchildren or enjoying the beauty of nature while hunting, Glenn appreciated the beauty in life's everyday moments with his flower gardening, mowing grass, bird feeding and providing bluebird houses. He had a warm smile that brightened the lives of anyone fortunate enough to know him.

He will be deeply missed by his loved ones and his memory will remain etched in their hearts as they remember his loving nature, unwavering support, and dedication to those he cared for. It is in times like these that we reflect on the impact Glenn had on our lives and honor the legacy he leaves behind. One of his favorite sayings in life was “I figure that I am only going around once in this life, so I am going to enjoy it.”

He is survived by two sons: Mark Lunger of Northumberland PA and Randall Lunger and his wife Karen of Sunbury PA and one daughter, Holly Kieffer and her husband Paul of Sunbury PA. Also surviving are seven grandchildren: Jonathan Lunger, Beth (Andrew) Memmer, Erin (Bryan) Karpinski, Lane (Nick) Natale, Adam (Kristin) Lunger, Sara (Lance) Bittner, Rachel (Steven) Rossi as well as two step-grandchildren: Nicholas Splitt and Matthew (Morgan) Splitt, and 11 great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his sister, Darlis L. Pope of Danville, one nephew, Jeffrey (Kathy) Pope and one niece, Ann (Michael) Danese and their families.
