Glenn H. Jefferis, 94, of Waterloo, passed away in the early morning hours of Saturday, June 26, 2021 at the Cedar Valley Hospice Home from congestive heart failure.

Glenn was born on September 19, 1926 in Manchester, son of Howard and Bertha (Grimm) Jefferis.

He graduated from Manchester High School with the class of 1944.

Glenn married the love of his life, Joan Cropp, on September 3, 1951 in Prairie Du Chien, Wisconsin.

He was a salesman and had worked at Joens Wholesale and Monarch Foods, retiring in 1983.

Glenn was an avid outdoorsman and enjoyed hunting and fishing. He loved going to the family cabin and spending time on the boat, waterskiing, and sitting around the campfire. He liked his trips to the casino with his buddies. He had a special place in his heart for animals. In his later years, he could always be found in his chair cheering on Aaron Rodgers and the rest of the Green Bay Packers.

Glenn will be missed but will be remembered for his infectious laugh and kind soul. He was a special man, husband, father and grampa.
