Print Obituary
Joseph Charles Glauber, Sr., 66, of Belleville, born November 27, 1951, in Belleville, IL, passed away suddenly on Friday, July 27, 2018, at his residence.

He was the first born of five children to his surviving parents, Joseph E. and Aurelia, nee Bauer, Glauber. He lived each day with appreciation. He was patient, kind and found his greatest joy in spending time with his children and grandchildren.

He was a beloved son, brother, husband, father, grandfather and friend. He worked in the car business for 37 years and after retirement took great pride dressing up as Santa Claus. It was an honor he took seriously and enjoyed; there was no one who could make you feel more important and loved. Joe was a member of St. Mary’s Men’s Club. He enjoyed cooking, telling stories and watching St. Louis Cardinals baseball.

He is survived by his parents, Joseph E. and Aurelia, nee Bauer, Glauber;
his wife of 46 years, Sue, nee Piot, Glauber;
three daughters, Dawn (EJ Jarvis) Glauber of Reno, NV, Angie Karstens (Ken Evans) of St. Charles, MO, and Margaret Glauber of Belleville, IL;
a son, Joseph (Blair) Glauber, Jr., of Millstadt, IL;
three brothers, Jeff (Doris) Glauber, Jamie Glauber, and John (Kathy) Glauber;
a sister, June (Scott) Hamilton;
he will forever be missed by his grandchildren; Madilin, Brock, Joseph and James;
and extended family.

The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to https://www.gofundme.com/fyktj-glauber-widow-assistance-fund

Private services were held. A celebration of life to be held at a later date.

So sorry to hear about his passing, and your family's loss. Joe was always larger than life, and a joy to see on those rare occasions when we'd run into each other. Take solace in the fact that he is now in God's loving hands.

So sorry for your loss. First met Joe in kindergarten at St Mary's and went through grade school and high school with him. I'm kind of a quiet/shy guy but whenever we would run into each other he would always shake my hand and have kind words to say. HE WILL BE MISSED!

If it's true that your success in life can be determined by how much you're loved, then Joe was a wildly successful man. I never had the pleasure of knowing him personally, but know of the love that his daughter, Angie, had for him. He will be sorely missed.

First met Joe when Michele brought me to babysit Dawn and Angie in your Dawn Heights home. Thought at that time he was a very cool guy. Still do. I raise a glass in his memory, to your 46 years together, including your lovely family. He was a big man with a big laugh, big wit and big wisecracks and of course, big love.
