Glenn Crandall of McLeod, MT passed away at the age of 81 on Tuesday, December 18.

Glenn was born to Madeline (Wyffels) and Jesse Crandall of Osage, MN on July 11, 1937. He grew up on a farm with his parents, two brothers, and two sisters. After Glenn graduated from Park Rapids High School, he joined the Navy.

Glenn married Darlene Schultz on October 8, 1960. They had three children. Glenn and Darlene were best friends and soul mates; they remained together through life’s struggles and joys until Darlene’s passing in August of 1992.

Glenn worked in the die cast industry for 47 years retiring at the age of 70. He was well known for his talent at restoring old vehicles - mainly mustangs from the 60s and Model As from the 1928-1932 era. He won many awards and enjoyed talking to people about cars and going to auctions to see what treasures he could find.
