Glenn Boyd Prager was born Sept 18, 1935 in Roswell, New Mexico to Louis Morris Prager and Rosalee Florence (Speyer) Prager who preceded him in death. He passed on to be with our Lord on April 22, 2014. He is survived by his wife Sherrill M. Prager, one son – Louis Charles Prager of Amarillo, TX., 3 daughters, Rose Ann Souza of Tulare, CA, Glendy Schweitzer of New Milford, CT and Angela Prager of San Francisco, CA, one brother, Bruce Prager of Las Vegas, 2 grandsons, Matthew Prager of Yuma, AZ, David Prager of Las Vegas, 5 granddaughters, Rose Maree Souza of Tulare, CA, Jennifer Souza of San Diego, CA, Lauren Hays of Lakeside, CA, Kayanna and Gabrielle Schweitzer of New Milford, CT and 10 great-grandchildren.

After graduating from Roswell High School in 1954, he attended Woodbury College in downtown Los Angeles where he earned his BA degree. It is now Woodbury University located in Burbank, CA.

In Roswell, Glenn formed the Crater Teen Club so the “kids” would have a special place of their own.

Glenn was president of Pioneer Specialties of NV Inc. (a specialty advertising business incorporated here in 1988). He was past state vice president of the New Mexico Jaycees. For years he was program director of New Mexico Military Institute, Carlsbad Convention Center and Lubbock Christian College where he brought in some greats like Paul Harvey, Ray Charles, The Platters, The Kingston Trio, Sammy Smith, Skiles and Henderson and many more.

For recreation, Glenn liked to play poker at The Orleans, especially Omaha. He enjoyed travelling with his family. He has covered most of the US by motor home, and travelled to Europe, Hong Kong and Thailand.

Though Glenn suffered many health problems throughout most his life, he never allowed it to hinder his animated spirit. No matter the situation, Glenn could always turn a frown into a smile. His family is at peace knowing that he went to a better place free of pain and suffering.

Pastor Dana Pope from Grace Presbyterian Church will officiate on Monday, April 28th, at 11:00 am services at Palm Mortuary on 7400 W. Cheyenne in Las Vegas.
