Sandusky

Glen W. Sypolt, 94, residing in Sandusky, passed away peacefully Monday, Aug. 21, 2023, at home surrounded by family.

Glen was born April 20, 1929, in Terra Alta, West Virginia, to Homer and Catherine (Hitt) Sypolt. He was a dedicated worker, retiring from New Departure after 26 years of service. He was a proud veteran, serving six years in U.S. Air Force and a year-and-a-half in U.S. Army. His commitment to his country extended to his local community, where he was a member of American Legion, VFW, and UAW.

Glen was a man of many interests and talents. He enjoyed outdoor activities such as fishing, hunting, biking, and taking long walks. His love for old vehicles, motorcycles, and personal airplanes was evident, as he learned to fly and enjoyed working on old vehicles. He was a nuts and bolts kind of guy who loved metalworking and woodworking. He was always tinkering and inventing things, a testament to his handy nature.

Glen was also a CDL holder and had a fondness for trucks. He was an excellent neighbor, always keeping watch for his friends and neighbors. Despite his many interests, his greatest joy came from spending time with his grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and his dogs, especially Gigger, his most favorite companion.

Glen is survived by his loving wife of 71 years, Betty Jo (Carson) Sypolt; their devoted daughter, Chere Woolf of Milan; five grandchildren, Justin (Maria Avila) Woolf of New York, Amanda (Chris) Brant of Clyde, Megan (Eric) Tewa of Sandusky, Jessica Rose of Milan, and Joseph Rose of Milan; four great-grandchildren, Katelynn Brant, Landon Gussie, Joseph A. Rose, and Lacey Adkins; sister, Ellen Beadle of Norwalk; sister-in-law, Joyce Smith of Grafton; brother-in-law, Buck Probst of West Virginia; and numerous nieces, nephews, and other relatives.

Glen was preceded in death by his parents; mother-in-law, Freda Carson; sister-in-law, Linda Probst; and brothers-in-law, John Carson, Charlie Carson, Raymond Smith, and Gene Beadle.

Private family services will be conducted by Groff Funeral Homes & Crematory, Sandusky, with cremation to follow. A very special thank you to Eric Tewa for the wonderful care he gave to Glen this past year.
