Glenn Fitch Obituary
Glenn E. Fitch
1955 – 2024
KENOSHA - Glenn Edward Fitch, 69, of Kenosha, WI, passed away after an 11-month battle with cancer at Aurora Medical Center, on August 14, 2024, with his wife by his side.
Glenn was born to the late Wayne and Bonnie (Wagner) Fitch, on August 3, 1955, in Kenosha WI. He graduated from Tremper High School and went on to work for AMC Chrysler as a Layout Inspector for nearly 40 years. He married Tamara "Tammy" Wood on March 18, 1995, at Our Lady of the Holy Rosary.
After his Chrysler retirement, Glenn moved on to work at Case in Racine, WI. Outside of working, Glenn enjoyed walking barefoot in his yard, taking care of his garden, playing cribbage, fishing, hunting pheasant, geese, and squirrels, and playing with his grandchildren. His favorite songs to sing to his grandchildren were "Up, Up, Rida" and "This is the Way the Gentleman Ride". He was also known for his sense of humor and wittiness.
He is survived by his wife of 29 years, Tammy; children: Alexander (Corie) Fitch, Richard (Jen) Sanderson, Crystal (Kip) Keckler, Courtney (Dan) Turner, Tiffany (Jon) Behrends and Michelle (John) Lynn; grandchildren: Reese, Dani, Jordy, Emma, Liam, Aidan, Kenzy, Zach, Lilah, Ally, Logan and Brandon; siblings: Karen Pritchard, Darlene (John) Weaver, John (Diane) Fitch, Paula (Bruce) Meyers, Teresa (Frank) Lorenz, and Pam Fitch; and many nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents, Glenn was preceded in death by his brother-in-law, Bill Pritchard.
