CHERRYFIELD — Glendon B. Wilbur, 82, went to his Heavenly home on Jan. 14, 2010, surrounded by his loving family, at his residence in Cherryfield.

He was born Feb. 11, 1927 in Kingfield, the son of Francis and Bernice Wilbur. He graduated from Stratton High School in 1945, and from Radio TV Institute. He is known best as store owner, and radio and TV repairman. He owned and operated Glen Wilbur & Sons in Cherryfield, as well as previous businesses. His children are known to have proudly bragged “My father can fix ANYTHING!”

Glen accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior 50 years ago and served the Lord in numerous capacities in church through the years including deacon, Sunday school superintendent and teacher. He was a member of the Calvary Bible Fellowship. His life verse was I John 5:11 & 12. “And this is the record that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that hath the son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.” Glen is sadly missed by his family, but they rejoice in knowing that he is safe in the arms of Jesus.

Glen is survived by his loving wife, Norma C. Wilbur of 56 years (whom he married on June 20, 1953); their four children and spouses, Glen C. and Patricia Wilbur, Marie and Fred Wieninger, Stan and Theresa Wilbur, and Nancy and Ben York. “Papa” is also survived by 13 grandchildren, Julie W. and husband, Matt Turner, Katie Wieninger, Jennifer, Jamie, and Joshua Wilbur, Bethany and Breanna Wilbur, Amanda, Benjamin, Brandon, David, Joseph, and Meagan York. He is also survived by his siblings, Marilyn Scribner and Carlene, John and James Wilbur, and a special sister-in-law, Marion Parkman who introduced Norma to Glen.

He was predeceased by a brother, Robert Wilbur; as well as his parents; and a special stepfather, Clyde Hobbs.

A celebration of Glen’s life was held at the First Baptist Church in Cherryfield on Sunday, Jan. 17, 2010, with Pastor Glen C. Wilbur officiating.
