Final Salute

Glenn L. Sisco, a cherished member of his community, passed away peacefully at home on January 10, 2025, at the age of 95. Born on August 8, 1929, in Dover, NJ, Glenn lived a life dedicated to service, responsibility, and unwavering love for his family and friends.

Glenn’s commitment to his community was evidenced by his illustrious career in public service. He served with distinction as the District Superintendent for Jersey Central Power and Light and as a dedicated public servant in Kinnelon. His tenure as Mayor from 1969 to 2010 marked him as a steadfast leader, shaping the town he loved. Before becoming Mayor, he held the position of Councilman from 1965 to 1968, displaying an enduring passion for local governance. After his retirement, Glenn returned to serve once again as Councilman, from 2016-2020, demonstrating that his commitment to Kinnelon was lifelong.

Glenn’s education at Morristown High School laid the foundation for a life marked by kindness, compassion, fairness, and resilience. His strength of character was not only felt in his professional life but also shone through in his personal interests. A passionate outdoorsman, he loved to fish and hunt, finding peace and joy in nature’s embrace.

His military service as a member of the US Navy Sea Bees during the Korean War added another layer to his remarkable life. It was during those formative years that he learned the values of teamwork, duty, and sacrifice, lessons that would carry him through his life and inspire those around him.

Forever a loving husband, Glenn was the proud father of two children. He took great joy in being a grandfather of four grandchildren and his warmth and laughter extended further into the next generation, with the arrival of a great-grandchild. Glenn is preceded in death by his beloved parents.

Glenn’s proudest accomplishments were deeply rooted in his service to the mayor’s office, the fire department, and most importantly, his family. His life exemplified what it meant to lead with love and integrity, teaching those around him the importance of loyalty, commitment, fairness and generosity.

Friends and family are invited to celebrate Glenn’s life and legacy. Visitation will be held on January 17, 2025, from 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM at The Morrison Etheridge Funeral Home, in Butler, NJ. The funeral service will take place the following day, January 18, at 10:00 AM, where we will come together to honor a truly remarkable man.

Glenn L. Sisco’s memory will forever shine brightly in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. His legacy of service, family, and compassion continues to inspire us all.
