Bus Glover passed away on August 20, 2011 at the age of 90. He was born March 8, 1921 in Florence, Texas to J.W. and Bertha (Willis) Glover where he was the fifth of ten children. He lived most of his life in the Florence-Youngsport, Texas area.
Bus served in the Army during World War II in the European Campaign. He was among the second wave of forces landing on Normandy Beach. He received five Bronze Stars and one Silver Star. Upon returning home, he bought a farm near Florence, married his soul mate, Mary Richards, and continued to farm and ranch.
Bus was preceded in death by his wife Mary in 2001, his parents J.W. and Bertha Glover, four brothers W.L. (Cap), F.E. (Short), Robert (Bob) and Hershel.
He is survived by his daughter, Peggy Allen and husband Miles of Florence, Texas; three sisters, Ruby Harrigal and Opal Green both of Florence, Texas and Jewel Bethke of Lampasas, Texas; and two brothers, Frank and J.W. (Jack) both of Florence, Texas. He also leaves behind a number of nieces, nephews, friends and his extended family at Park Place Care Center.
Bus will be remembered for his kind heart, generosity, and his love for country music, especially the fiddle tunes. Though he never mastered the fiddle, he could pick a guitar and was great on the harmonica.
The family will receive guests for a time of visitation from 6:00 to 8:00 P.M. Tuesday, August 23, 2011 at Young Memorial Chapel in Florence, Texas. A graveside service will be held at 10:00 A.M. on Wednesday, August 24, 2011 at Lawler Cemetery in Florence, Texas with Chaplain W.C. "Dub" Falsone II officiating.
Alan Jackson's song SMALL TOWN SOUTHERN MAN is a good description of Bus. "He bowed his head to Jesus and he stood for Uncle Sam and he only loved one woman, was proud of what he had. He said his greatest contribution is the ones he leaves behind. Raised on the ways and gentle kindness of a small town southern man. I'm blessed and I know I am 'cause God has a place in heaven for a small town southern man."
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to a charity of your choice.
