Note: . Mr. Vaughn was a two-term Councilman with the City of Canon City, serving from 01/1992 through 12/1999. He was born January 12, 1942 in San Francisco, California but moved frequently since his father was in the US Navy. His most vivid childhood memories were of life in Guantanamo City, Cuba, and Elizabeth City, North Carolina. Glenn learned to drive at 12 and enjoyed regaling audiences with his racing stories. He was an amateur radio operator, avid fly-fisherman, excellent hunter, and all round good guy. He began work at 15—delivering coal & ice, enlisted in the US Navy at 17, and was later involved in many ventures such as owning a poker club, flying for Buzzard Airlines, and teaching roller skating, but devoted most of the last fifty years to designing & maintaining computer software programs. In 1988, he married Rona Brostrom and they picked Canon City as the best place to live, quit their jobs with the City of Palo Alto in California, and bought a Victorian home on Greenwood Avenue. The next year, Glenn took a programming job with the Colorado Community College System, and retired in April 2013 to devote more time to his business DaWiz & Associates, which will continue under his son's direction. Glenn took great pride in being an excellent provider and is survived by his beloved wife Rona, son Glenn (Veda) Vaughn Junior, step-daughter Sonia (Kelly) Doupe', grandchildren Ella, Ian & Caleb Doupe' and Garrett Vaughn, and brother, Mike. He was preceded in death by his parents. Memorial Services will be held on Saturday, February 15, 2014, at 11:00 A.M., at the United Presbyterian Church, 701 Macon Ave, Canon City, with honors provided by the Royal Gorge Detachment of the Marine Corps League. Arrangements entrusted to Harwood Funeral Home. Condolences at harwoodfuneral.com
