Cecil Glen Engledow

July 13, 1938 — July 8, 2013

Cecil Glen worked as a manager for General Tire for 33 years, and then retired. But true to his hardworking nature, he didn't take retirement sitting down. Instead, he and his wife Libby started their own business, Engledow Tire and Wheel. Together, they made this small business a success for many years, through good times and bad. Even in his seventies, Cecil Glen was still at it, still doing what he loved: working at his tire business, fostering relationships, making deals, driving all over the DFW metroplex, selling and delivering and installing tires and wheels all over town.
When he wasn't working, Cecil Glen loved to bowl. He was an avid bowler, bowling several days every week. In fact, according to Libby, he bowled every day except Saturday and Sunday! He competed in tournaments all over the country (and he was pretty darn good at it, too: he was the proud owner of three "300" rings and an "800" ring).

Cecil Glen always said that his idea of a perfect retirement was eating Hostess Chocolate Cupcakes and bowling whenever he wanted to.so he did indeed have the perfect retirement.

Another favorite hobby of Cecil Glen's was cooking. He was an excellent chef, and he loved to prepare meals for his wife, his friends, and his family. The stories about his homemade guacamole are legendary around these parts.
He will be fondly remembered and terribly missed. He was quick-witted with a dry sense of humor. He always seemed to be ready with a joke for any situation and could make just about anybody laugh or crack a smile at any given time.

When we think of Cecil Glen, three words spring to mind: responsibility, dependability, honesty. He was a loving husband, a loving father, and a loving grandfather. He was a good man and a good friend.
When Libby introduced Cecil Glen(with his curly black hair, thick moustache, tight jeans, and cowboy boots)to her family, her sisters immediately dubbed him "The Marlboro Man."
Here's to Cecil Glen, The Marlboro Man.

Cecil Glen is survived by his wife, Libby, and his daughter Debbie. He also has two grandchildren, Ricky and Jarrett, and two stepchildren, Leslie and Bryan.
