Glenn Van Warrebey served as a navigator in the Merchant Marine during World War II. On one voyage in 1942, they brought 400 tons of pitchblende (uranium ore) from the Belgian Congo to New York for research to develop the atomic bombs. He joined Seaboard in 1950 and flew as a navigator for about twenty years.

Glenn was survived by his wife, Eleanor who died in 2014; his son Glenn Jr. who died in 2004; and his son Wayne. He is seen here in the uniform of a previous employer.
