(October 18, 1934 - August 20, 2010)
Glenn Madison Head, who was an electrical engineer at Honeywell for 42 years, and was for more than two decades a loyal driver of the purple bus at Calvary Baptist Church in Clearwater, died Friday in Dunedin Florida. He was 75.
Glenn joined Honeywell in 1957, straight out of college. Because of the nature of his work, his family often couldn't (and in some cases still can't) know the details, but Glenn and they were always proud of his involvement with the space shuttle and the Voyager and Gemini missions.
In the mid-70s, Glenn was one of the founders of the bus ministry at Calvary Baptist. He drove the purple bus through north Clearwater and south Dunedin, visiting families on Saturdays and picking children up on Sundays. Every Sunday morning, Mr. Head was there, opening the bus doors in welcome, living out in concrete action his firm conviction that every child is a child of God.
Glenn was born on October 18, 1934 in Rutherfordton NC, received his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the University of South Carolina in 1957 and his master's degree from the University of Florida in 1967. Glenn was a member of Crossroads Baptist Church in Palm Harbor. Survivors include his wife of 50 years, M. Sue Gregory Head of Dunedin FL and Maryville TN; two beloved daughters, Marti Head of Wayne PA and Debbie Fox of Tifton GA; six grandchildren of whom he was inordinately proud, Douglas Creager of East Somerville MA, Rachel Creager-Allen of Mebane NC, Rebekah Fox of Louisville KY, Hannah Fox of Milledgeville GA, Sarah and Nathaniel Fox of Tifton GA; and one brother, Robert N. Head (Marie) of Valdese NC. Glenn was predeceased by his parents, Robert and Blanche Head, and by one sister, Sybil Henson.
