Glen Huffman, 91, of Evansdale, formerly of Waterloo, died on Tuesday, July 21, 2026, due to complications from heart surgery at MercyOne Waterloo Medical Center.

Glen married Jean McAllen on June 12, 1954, in Williamstown, Iowa. Together, they shared over 72 years of marriage.

He was a telephone technician serving in many capacities over the years. In 1960, he started his career working for Northwestern Bell as a telephone lineman, which later became AT&T, where he worked as a communications technician, installing phone systems until his retirement in 1988.
