FRITZLEN, GLENN ARTHUR 88, of Carmel, IN passed away January 18, 2008.
Survivors include his three daughters, Ann (Larry) Moulder of Mount Dora, FL, Sally (Steve) McBane of Carmel, IN and Maureen Gundlach of Avon, IN; seven grandchildren and three great grandchildren.
Glenn was preceded in death by his wife of 65 years, Jane and his son, David Fritzlen.
Glenn was born in Indianapolis, IN to George and Anna Fritzlen on April 25, 1919 and was the youngest of four boys.
He attended Arsenal Technical High School, where he graduated with honors in 1937. He earned a B.S. in Metallurgical Engineering from Purdue University in 1941.
After graduation, he was stationed at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, where he was a Major in the Army Air Corps and served in the European campaign of WWII.
After the war, he returned to Indiana and was employed at Haynes Stellite in Kokomo for 37 years until retirement. While at Haynes, he worked in the development of heat and corrosion resistant metal especially for the aerospace industry. He holds three patents and contributed many more advances in the technology of the metals industry.
Glenn served as a consultant to NASA, was a fellow of the American Society for Materials and the American Metallurgical Society. After retirement, he taught mechanical engineering at the Kokomo Campus of Purdue University from 1984 to 1992.
He served on numerous committees for the Chamber of Commerce in Kokomo and St. Patrick's church. Glenn was listed in Who's Who in America as well as Who's Who Engineering and Technology and American Men and Women of Science.
After his final retirement in 1992, he moved to Carmel where he resided until death. While Glenn was considered to be at the top of his profession as a Metallurgist, Scientist and excellent motivational teacher, his true contributions were to his community, coworkers, students and family.
No one that ever met Glenn left his presence without being enriched. He was a loving and generous person. Those who had the privilege of knowing him were truly blessed.
