Obituary
GLENN MCANDLESS
Glenn McAndless, 88, of Gainesville, MO passed to heaven on January 14, 2012 at the Hospice House of the Ozarks in Mountain Home, AR. He was born on July 4, 1923 in Chicago, IL the son of Abram and Ella (King) McAndless.
Glenn proudly served in the Navy as a signalman during World War II and up until his passing was an active member of the United States Navy Memorial, honoring the men and women of the United States Navy- past, present and future. He was also a member of the American Legion for 22 years. On April 23, 1949, Glenn was united in marriage to Patricia Dreckman and they have shared a wonderful, devoted 62 years together.
Glenn had many interests and hobbies including photography, song birds, and collecting stamps and rare coins. He took after his mother with his love for gardening, and felt great pride in beautifully landscaping his lawns and gardens.
He was a gifted athlete and enjoyed many different sports, but his true passion was for golf, and he was fortunate enough to be able to travel across the United States and play on some of the finest courses. When he retired from the Chicago area and moved to the Ozarks, he spent countless days happily playing golf with his wife and friends at the Theodosia Country Club.
Pat and Glenn joined the First Christian Church upon moving to Gainesville, and enjoyed participating in the church functions, activities, and leadership roles. They felt very blessed to have their church "family" an important part of their lives.
Glenn was preceded in death by his parents Abram and Ella McAndless; and two brothers Henry and Kenneth McAndless. He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Patricia; his daughter Carol Cooper of Theodosia, MO; son Tom McAndless of Los Angeles, CA; and two grandchildren Nicole Denny and Christopher Cooper; both residing in California.
Funeral services for Glenn will be held at 6 p.m. Monday, January 16, 2012 in the Clinkingbeard Funeral Home Chapel, Gainesville, MO with Bobby Jo Wade officiating. Visitation will be Monday evening from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. with the service immediately following. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in Glenn's memory to the Hospice House of the Ozarks, 701 Burnett Drive, Mtn. Home, AR 72653.
