Paul A. Glass, 78, formerly of Rochester, died March 18, 2009, of complications associated with pancreatic cancer, in Sun City, Ariz.
Paul A. Glass was born April 7, 1930, in Grand Forks, N.D. After an honorable discharge from the Army during the Korean War, he married Mary Ann Carlstrom on Feb. 13, 1955, in Denver. He began his career with Montgomery Wards, and then worked most of his career as a vice president of commercial lending for First Bank System. He completed his career in 1985 from United Financial Savings and Loan in Rochester.
Surviving are his wife; his children, Alan Glass of St. Louis, Mo., Janet Arbogast of Peoria, Ariz., and Jim Glass of Minneapolis; one grandchild, Allison Goodwin of Peoria, Ariz.; one son-in-law, Mike Arbogast of Peoria, Ariz.; and one daughter-in-law, Martha Glass of Minneapolis. He was preceded in death by his parents, Paul E. and Hazel M. Glass; a sister, Virginia Carr; and one brother, Irwin.
Funeral services were held March 20 at the American Lutheran Church in Sun City.
(Following was written by Paul for his 50th class reunion 1998)
Imagine, 50 years since the class of '48 last met. Wow! Half a century since I have seen most of our classmates. Where has the time gone since 1948?
For me it meant going to the University of North Dakota, graduating in 1952 and then being drafted into the army during the Korean War. I was rained in Texas as a radar mechanic and then spent the duration of my two years attached to an air base in Washington state.
I had met my wife of 43 years, Mary Ann, while at UND and after my army discharge I took a job in Denver and we were married in Englewood, Colorado in 1955. Our first child, Alan, was born in Cheyenne, Wyoming about a year later and was followed 14 months later by our daughter, Janet born in Helena, Montana. In 1957, I took position with First Bank Systems in Minneapolis, Minnesota and in 1962 our youngest son, Jim, was born, completing our family.
We stayed in Minneapolis until 1967, when I was transferred to Rochester, Minnesota to an affiliate of First Banks. After working at this bank for 11 years, I took a new position in Rochester with a friend who was president of a financial sales organization and stayed with them until 1985 when this company was merged into a larger organization and I was out of a job.
Mary Ann and I, now empty nesters, decided to move to Phoenix for our next home. We have never regretted our decision and live in Sun City where there are 11 golf courses for Mary Ann and me to explore, I only wish we had moved here earlier.
Son Alan is now a physician in Cincinnati; Daughter, Janet is divorced working for Wal-Mart in Phoenix and has our only grandchild, Allison, and lives 5 minutes from us; and son Jim, now works for United States Bank (formerly First Bank) in Minneapolis.
I have two things in my life I am particularly proud of and they are: Finding a good friend to marry and starting my life in North Dakota. What more an a man wish for?
