Robert Glick
December 26, 1920 — November 12, 2016
Robert J. Glick, Overland Park, KS, passed away peacefully at the age of 95 on November 12, 2016. Bob was a much beloved husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, uncle, and friend. Bob was born on December 26, 1920 in St. Mary’s, Kansas to Mary Le Blanc Glick and John Robert Glick as the youngest of ten children. He grew up and remained a Kansan his entire life, graduating in Business from his cherished Kansas State University. He was a starting freshman basketball player at KSU. He was a World War II Army veteran and was proud to be a participant in the Heartland Honor Flight to Washington D.C. last year.
Bob married the love his life, Muriel Grace Cookson “Cookie” Glick. Their 66 years of marriage was a lifetime romance admired by all that crossed their paths. Bob and Muriel had five children. His family was what Bob treasured most and he was a devoted and loving father. He was a steady presence in the life of his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. He was a devout Catholic, loyal sports enthusiast and avid golfer, walking eighteen holes several times a week with his golf group well into his eighty’s.
Bob retired from Mutual of Omaha as a Senior Claims Manager after a career of integrity and honorable service. He was a humble gentleman who loved music, dancing and singing. He will be remembered for his beautiful voice and by the way he treated everyone he encountered with deliberate thought, purpose, kindness and respect.
Bob was preceded in death by his parents, Mary LeBlanc Glick and John Robert Glick; his wife, Muriel Cookson Glick; his son, Gary Edmund Glick; his grandson, Robert John Marchi; and his nine siblings.
Bob is survived by four of his children, John Robert Glick (wife Rose), Steven Francis Glick (wife Vicki), daughter Rebecca Anne Glick McInnes (husband Duncan), and daughter Susan Kay Glick Cummings (husband Rick). Grandpa Bob was loved and adored by his eight grandchildren: Bobby, Ryan, Leah, Briana, Paige, Jack, Matt, and Cooper. He was blessed with nine great grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions to Kansas City Hospice Foundation and mailed to KCHPC, 1500 Meadow Lake Parkway, suite 200, Kansas City, MO 64114.
God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be
So he put His arms around you
And whispered "Come to me."
With tearful eyes we watched you
As you slowly slipped away
And though we loved you dearly
We couldn't make you stay.
Your golden heart stopped beating
Your tired hands put to rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
