Glen Wilfred Winterscheidt

He joined the navy in 1948 where he became a PBM pilot and served in the Korean War. While on leave he married his childhood sweetheart, Donna Jean Skinner. Following his military service he attended Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles to pursue a degree in automotive design. He was hired by General Motors, his dream job, in 1957. He considered himself unbelievably fortunate to be a part of the GM design team in its heyday. Glen retired as a Studio Head in 1989.

After retiring Glen and Donna fulfilled their dream to move to San Diego. They had fallen in love with the city when Glen was stationed on North Island during his time in the Navy.

Glen was an amazing artist, his aviation art garnering many awards. His watercolors of rural subjects resonate to his roots in Kansas. He loved his wife, his family, the ocean, airplanes, crosswords, Willie Nelson and travel.

Glen cared for his beloved wife with tireless devotion in her declining years. In his last years he was blessed to have family friend, Tonia, as his caregiver and dear buddy.

He was preceded in death by his wife Donna, his parents, and his three brothers. Glen is survived by his five children, five grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, and his wife’s sister, Dorothy.

No service will be held. Glen was honored on his 90th birthday by family and friends who came from far and wide to celebrate him - an event he thoroughly enjoyed. His ashes will be interred alongside his wife’s at Saints Peter and Paul Cemetery in Seneca, Kansas.
