Glen Edward Herrlinger, of rural Almena, passed away on June 29, 2020, at his son's home near Boyceville; where he lived for the last several months.  He was born July 16, 1929, to Edward and Laura (Vosberg) Herrlinger on a farm near Dovray, MN. He graduated from Westbrook High School in 1947, then from the University of Minnesota Agricultural School. He enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and served his country in Korea. On June 16, 1956, he and Marion Stuber were married.  

Glen and Marion made their home on a dairy farm near Farwell, MN. They later moved to a smaller dairy farm near Cumberland. Glen started a small business making doormats from old motorcycle tires, which he sold at craft and threshing shows. He enjoyed chatting with his customers at threshing shows, gardening, playing baseball, and a good game of pool and cup of coffee with his veteran buddies. Glen loved the Lord and His Word.

He leaves behind four children: Julie (Alan) Saltee of Canby MN, William (Cathy) Herrlinger of Boyceville WI, Mary Herrlinger (Charlie Annis) of Cumberland, and Joel Herrlinger of Alexandria, MN; 14 grandchildren: Melissa, Jaclyn, and Rebecca Saltee; Andrea, Justin, Mathew, Laurissa, Naomi, Miranda, and Allison Herrlinger; Lindsey, Scott, Shannon, and Joanna Neby and seven great-grandchildren: Leana, Ethan, and Jamison Maendel; Hailey, Morgan and Emma Keller; and Thomas Otto.  Glen was preceded in death by his parents; siblings; wife, Marion; and great-grandson (stillbirth) Hudson Maendel.   Blessed be his memory.
