Glenn Everett Brickey, 89, of New Lebanon, OH, passed away Sunday morning, September 15, 2019 at Kobacker House Hospice in Columbus. Born May 31, 1930 in Dorchester, Virginia, he was one of eight children born to the late Famey and Worley Brickey.

He was an iron worker for many years with Ironworkers Local 209 of Dayton. He loved being outdoors and would spend endless hours on his tractor or just piddling around his barn. Glenn never met a stranger and would talk to anyone who would listen. His pride and joy was his family whom he would talk about any chance he could.
