Glasshof, Wayne “Go Go” (14 July 1929 - 26 August 2012)

Our Dad was born July 14, 1929, in Thorp, WI to William Edward Glasshof and Veronica Beatrice Wohld. He was carried away to his eternal reward on Sunday, August 26, 2012, in North Charleston, SC, after his body could no longer support his beautiful spirit. He left on this earth his older brother, Millard Glasshof (Winnie) of Milwaukee, WI; younger brother, Dale Glasshof (Sara) of Odenville, AL; younger sister, Sharon Bohnert of Phillips, WI; and younger half-sister, Debbie (Steve) Redmon of Indian, AK.

By his side at the time was his Southern Belle, Janelle Darnaby Glasshof of Brownsville, whom he married October 5, 1957. Fifty four years he loved her as Christ loved his church.

Dad selflessly put us ahead of himself in every way, raising us in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. He, along with Mom, did a great job. Joni Estes (Tim) of Franklin, TN, Timmy Glasshof (Angela) of Brownsville and Brian Glasshof (Julie) of Moncks Corner, SC are all happily married with wonderful families. We are grateful for his example.

With his five granddaughters we provided him the pride of his life. Brittney Estes, Kristie and Courtney Glasshof, and Rya and Reese Glasshof all made their grump grump/paw paw/grandpa absolutely radiate. He saw the beauty in them that we hope they see in themselves. He was so proud.

He was always busy and on the go as his hometown nickname would imply “Go Go.” He was considered by some the pound for pound hardest hitting player in the state playing for Thorp High School, graduating in 1947. Despite living in Tennessee and South Carolina the past 50 years, he loved his Packers and Badgers, converting the rest of us all the way.

A True Gentleman, he will be missed.
Lovingly, Joni, Timmy, and Brian
