Glenn Eugene Wilcox, age 89, passed away with family by his side on Saturday, December 17, 2022 at ThedaCare Medical Center. He was born January 13, 1933 in Weyauwega to Harry and Jeanie (Henry) Wilcox. On July 28th, 1954 he was married to his sweetheart Evonne Wilke. Glenn served in the Army in the 135th Engineer Battalion at Fort Lewis, Washington from 1953 to 1955. He was a Corporal and a Combat Construction Specialist. After his discharge he returned to Neenah and was hired by Bergstrom Paper (Glatfelter) and stayed there for 38 years until his retirement.

He was preceded in death by his wife of 60 years; his parents; five brothers; six sisters; a grandson, Matt Florey; and many brothers- and sisters-in-law. Glenn will also be missed by special friends: Brian Minks and Beth Gengler, and others who spent time doing puzzles, crafts, and watching sports events.

A funeral service will be held at 12:00 P.M. on Friday, January 13, 2023 at Neenah's Westgor Funeral Home, with Rev. Mike Huff officiating. Military honors will follow. Friends and family may visit at the funeral home from 10:00 A.M. until the hour of service. Glenn will join Evonne at Oak Hill Cemetery in Neenah.

Glenn Wilcox was the best great grand father a person could ever have I always tried my best to come over often to hang out with him whenever I would come over he would always great me with a nice big hug and some gummy worms so i would always call him "grandpa gummy worm" he was the best we would do puzzles together and it was really hard letting him go I always thought he was gonna live forever but that was not true his passing was the worst thing ever I could never believe it i cried for weeks just so sad thinking what could we have done better but the answer was always nothing at first i really didn't want to go to his funeral because I didn't want to see him like that but I new he would have wanted me to have been there so I went and still today it has been 2 years of his passing and i still cry because i miss him he was such a good grandpa and I miss him so much and I wish i had gotten just one more hug the hardest part was one random day I got off of school and my step mom picked me up and said I needed to hurry up because he was just about to die he was in so much pain it hurt me we got to the hospital and I wanted just one more hug so I got one and there I was not thinking this day would have ever come and I watched him pass just like that iv never missed someone so much
