In Loving Memory of
Glenn D. McKewen
July 22, 1952 – July 25, 2025
Glenn D. McKewen, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully at the age of 73. Born on July 22, 1952, to George and Janice McKewen. Glenn lived a full life. From an early age, Glenn had a natural gift for music and became an accomplished trumpeter. He was given the nickname “Doc” in honor of Doc Severinsen for how skilled he became with the trumpet. Whether performing in marching bands or simply playing for the joy of it, music was a lifelong thread that shaped who he was. Beyond his musical talents, Glenn was a man of intelligence. He earned his Master’s degree in Business. He applied that knowledge with care and purpose throughout his professional life.
Glenn had a deep love for sports, especially football and golf. Whether cheering from the couch on game day or teeing off on a quiet morning, he found joy and connection in the rhythm of the game. Those who knew him remember his sharp wit, generous spirit, and the twinkle in his eye when talking about a great play or the perfect swing.
But above all, Glenn was a family man. He shared a beautiful life with his loving wife Dina, who was his steadfast partner for 42 years. He was a devoted father to his daughters, Alexandra and Meredith. His greatest joy in later years came from being “Pop-pop” to his grandchildren: Antonella, Lorenzo, and Ida. Each of whom brought a special sparkle to his life. Glenn is also survived by his brother Steve, with whom he shared a lifetime of memories, stories, and a bond that only brothers understand.
Those who knew Glenn will remember a man who led a quiet, but a full life. His greatest joys were being a Pop-pop, enjoying a good football game, and his wife’s amazing cooking. He will be forever missed and will always be remembered.

Upon my very first meeting with Doc in 1976, it was simple to see Doc was a leader of men. Doc was responsible for me as well as many others for becoming members of Theta Xi fraternity at Rochester Institute of Technology.
It’s been 20 years since we last met up with each other, but he was and will remain a big influence in my life.
Thanks Doc. We will all miss you!
Attachment
Doc, forever Doc, was a fraternity brother at FIT whom I often think of when reminising about the fun times around campus, on the football field, in the gathering of the fraternity faithful, and the far too few contacts we had as we all went about life in the insuing years. Hotti-Totti.
