E. Glenn Kreider

E. Glenn Kreider, of Manheim, passed away on March 12, 2026, at the age of 96. Born in Lancaster, he was the son of the late Aldus and Leota (Coble) Kreider.

For more than five decades, Glenn was a respected figure in the appliance industry. He spent 31 years as a sales associate at Robert N. Lepore Appliances and 20 years with Brubaker, Inc., where his genuine desire to help customers find the right products earned him lasting appreciation.

Beyond his work, Glenn remained deeply involved in his community. A longtime member of the Willow Street Jaycees, he was also a Master Mason of Millersville Lodge No. 476 and a Shriner. He cherished time outdoors as a member of the Lanco Elk Hunting Club, where he enjoyed the fellowship of fellow hunters and contributed his skills as the club’s cook.

Glenn is survived by his children, Candice Albring and E. Glenn Kreider, Jr. (Lisa); grandchildren Angela Marley (Shawn), Gretchen Raad (Chris), John Albring (Angel), and Heather Hetrich (Jesse); 12 great-grandchildren; six great-great-grandchildren; his companion of 35 years, Esther Polkosky; and his siblings Viola Herr (Clifford), Patricia Rhoads (Sonny), Frances Gamber, Mervin Kreider (Janet), and Earla Deiter (Ronald). He was preceded in death by his parents and seven siblings: Janet Wissler, Aldus P. Kreider, Geneva Bleacher, Preston Kreider, Edith Miller, Nelson Kreider, and Rosalie Smith.
