Glenn Paul Benz, age 59, of Oshkosh, formerly of Poy Sippi, died peacefully, surrounded by his loving family on Thursday, July 25, 2024, at Ascension Mercy Hospital in Oshkosh.
He was born August 16, 1964, in South Milwaukee, WI, the son of Harold and Celestine "Sally" Huber Benz. Glenn was a 1983 graduate of Elk Grove High School.
Glenn worked at The Last Sippi, in Poy Sippi, tending bar for his mother. He had a passion for helping others, and his personality lit up the room along with his contagious laugh. Glenn loved being outdoors and riding his motorcycle. He was loved by many and will be dearly missed.
He is survived by his four sisters, Sandra (Gayle), Patricia, Paula (Kevin) and Irene (Don); nieces and nephews, Tanya (Chris), Eric (Jaclyn), Bradley, Lauren, Brandon, Brooke and Katie; other relatives and friends. Glenn was preceded in death by his parents.
A gathering of family and friends will be held at a later date. Arrangements have been entrusted to Barbola-Hempel Funeral Chapel in Poy Sippi. Anyone wishing to send a sympathy card to the family, please mail to Glenn Benz, c/o Barbola-Hempel Funeral Chapel, PO Box 201, Poy Sippi, WI 54967.
