Saginaw, Michigan
Beloved husband, father and papa passed away on Tuesday, May 10, 2022 at Covenant HealthCare-Harrison Campus. Age 71 years. The son of the late Edward and Edna (Brandt) Duffett, Glen was born on October 21, 1950 in Saginaw, Michigan. Glen proudly served in the United States Navy during the Vietnam Era, serving on the USS America. He married Mary Ciszewski, his loving wife of 51 years, on November 14, 1970. She survives him. Glen was employed at General Motors/ Saginaw Steering Gear for 30 years before retiring. After his retirement, Glen established Duffy’s Electric that he owned and operated until 2018. He was a member of Faith Ev. Lutheran Church where he also volunteered as church treasurer for over 20 years. Glen was also a member of V.F.W. Post #1566 and Salina Pioneer Lodge #79.
