Anchorage resident Glen F. Upton, 81, died Dec. 25, 2005, at home.
A service will be at 11:30 a.m. Friday at Faith Christian Community Church, 4240 Wisconsin St., in Anchorage. A military honors internment ceremony will be held at 2 p.m. at Fort Richardson National Cemetery. The procession will leave the church at 1:30 p.m.
Mr. Upton was born Feb. 12, 1924, in Lacey, Wash. He joined the Marine Corps in 1942 and was honorably discharged in 1946.
Mr. Upton was a member of Faith Christian Community Church and Anchorage East Rotary Club, where he was awarded the Paul Harris Fellowship award.
He enjoyed skiing, fishing, camping and hiking.
His family writes that he was "a Marine, proud, strong, caring and principled. Glen always made helping others, including friends and family, a priority in his life. Dad was moved to Alaska in 1954 by the H.B. Fuller Co. to manage the glass department of Fuller Paint and Glass, still on Gambell Street. In 1964, he started his own glass store, Alaska Curtainwall and Glass, which the family owned and operated for 25 years in Anchorage. He left his lasting marks in Alaska by putting the windows in hundreds of buildings statewide including such notable Anchorage skyline landmarks as the original Alaska Regional Hospital, the Unocal (now Chevron) building on the park strip, the Alyeska pipeline building on Bragaw, the southwest tower of the ARCO building and what was originally know as the RCA Building, now Veco, at 36th and Seward Highway. All three of his sons have followed his lead in the glass industry. The whole family is very proud of the accomplishments Dad has made throughout his lifetime."
Survivors are his wife, Shirley Upton; sons and daughters-in-law, Gary Upton, Gregg and Judy Upton, and Kim and Maureen Upton; sisters and brother-in-law, Lela and Walter Skorupski, and Lois Winchester; brothers and sisters-in-law, Gene and Shirley Upton, Wilbur Headly, and Kenneth and Bridgett Upton; four granddaughters, Crystal, Valisa, Kimberly and Laura; and several nieces and nephews.
Memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society, 1057 W. Fireweed Lane, Suite 204, Anchorage 99503.
Arrangements were by Anchorage Funeral Home and Crematory.
