Glen Imboden Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Feb. 16, 2017.

Glen Everett Imboden
89; passed away on Wednesday, February 15, 2017, in Mesa, AZ. He was the sixth of seven sons born to Thomas Wilbert and Lydia Laura Imboden on August 5, 1927 in Granite, OK.

He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, and uncle. A veteran of the U.S. Army enlisting in 1945 upon graduation from Mesa High School. He worked for over 40 years packing various melons, lettuce, and other produce for the growers in Arizona, California, and Texas before his retirement in 1999.

His greatest joys in life were his family, his service to the Lord, and his life long pursuit of knowledge through reading. Glen often walked multiple times a week to the Mesa Public Library. He enjoyed seeing how much the city had changed since coming to Mesa in the 1930's.

Glen is survived by his wife of 58 years France L. Imboden; children Glen Jr. (Debbie), Carrie (Robert), and Elizabeth; four grandchildren and four great grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his parents, brothers Thomas, Malcolm, Carl, Truman, Donald, Frank, and their spouses.

To the Imboden Family: My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

Glenn always made me laugh and he was good at it. Matter of fact I can still hear him cutting up and joking. He will be greatly missed! Rest in peace my friend.
