Glenn Shepard

   Glenn Shepard, loving & devoted husband of Lynn Oderwald, bursting with pride father of Lindi Rae Shepard, golf nemesis and brother to Wayne Shepard and constant soul mate of his sister, Ellen Shepard, passed away Friday evening, August 19 th .

   Glenn was 60 years young, grew up in West Orange, NJ, previously lived in Livingston, NJ and currently resided in New Providence, NJ. He graduated from West Orange High School and Old Dominion University prior to starting a successful career as an Executive in the women’s wear industry in New York City. Glenn served as a Senior Executive for a major Division of Liz Claiborne for over 12 years where he was primarily responsible for the introduction and management of various lines into department stores. Later, he joined Adrianna Papell, as President of their Sportswear Division and was responsible for creating and bringing this new Division to market.

   Glenn was a joy to be with, always smiling, could be found on the golf course as much as possible or creating and tending the gardens and lawn around his home. People came away from interactions with Glenn feeling “everything will work out” and that living life this moment is what is important. He found the love of his life with Lynn and was so proud to be her true partner in life. He often referred to Lindi as “his crusader who was out to save the world”, and she is doing just that.

   He will be missed and held in the hearts of all of his friends and family, including his nephew,Evan Shepard and wife Bre, his niece Taryn Fabian and husband Mike and Grand Niece Addilynn Grace, his sister-in- law Dawn Shepard, his cousins and close friends Victor Lewis and wife Debbie, and Marc Merryfield and wife Kelly.

Rest in peace, dear, Glenn.
