Our beloved Husband, Father, Grandfather and Great-grandfather, Art “Buzz” Glaze passed away Saturday March 7, 2015.
Art was born to Linda and Theodore Glaze, the third of three children, in Antelope, Montana where he lived until they moved to Stevensville. Art married Ruth Beghtol in 1952 and moved to Missoula, where they had four children: David, Gary, Cheryl and Laurie. In 1963 they moved to Lincoln and have lived there ever since.
Art Loved to stay busy with jobs including superintendent of the Lincoln Delany sawmill, Operator of the county landfill, Lincoln School bus contractor (was recognized as School bus driver of the year) and his favorite activity, running his small engine repair shop. Art loved working in the shop not only for repairing but for visiting the many friends he had in Lincoln and the surrounding area. During retirement, he and Ruth would live in Yuma through the winter months, where Art would play pool, a passion, swim and just enjoy being with all the new friends they made.
Art is survived by his wife Ruth, sister; Verlis, children; David (Pacita) Glaze, Gary (Loretta) Glaze, Cheryl (Mike) Wignot and Laurie (Doug) Richards; Grandchildren and Great-Grandchildren.
Art served in the Army during the final stages of the Korean War and was stationed in Germany. Although Art will be greatly missed, he will never be forgotten.

To The Glaze Family:
Sorry to hear about the passing of Art. I enjoyed serving with him in the fire dept and he will be truly missed. Art could fix anything with a “piston” in it ,that burnt gas. Rest in peace and may God bless at this time of loss.

To all of Art’s family, I truly enjoyed getting to know Art during our time in Lincoln. Not only was he one of the easiest people I’ve ever worked with, but his gentle spirit, sense of humor, and friendly demeanor always stood out to me. I remember our many talks out in his shop. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of transition and remembrance.
Sarah Morris says
My thoughts are with the Glaze family and friends. I have many great memories of bus trips with Art. How he put up with so many kids (especially the on smelly sports trips) is a testament to the wonderful man he was.

Art made wintering in Yuma pleasurable. He was always there with a warm smile and good advice. His sincere sense of loss whenever anyone left for home made us feel guilty for leaving. We enjoyed many visits with Art and Ruth in their Arizona room. He was never one to let someone else help him. We remember well seeing him on top of his unit putting down roof treatment. Heaven just got a little better.

regretfully,

Judy and Dale Malquist says
Love to the Glaze family. Art was a wonderful man with a great smile. He stopped in to see us here in Pahrump and that really touched my heart that he took the time to do that. The kids loved him when he drove the school bus and I loved him because he was a great man. Love to you Lauri you were a great friend.
Grace Wood Lim says
I’m so sorry to here about your Dad. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen any of you or your Mom and Dad. It is a sad upsetting time when we lose someone in our family. I pray you have some peace and serenity at this time and are able to share some wonderful memories together. Hugs for you
Evy Easton says
I didn’t know Buzz well as an adult, but certainly did when he was in Antelope, MT. The testimony of so many good friends says much about him. I am so sorry and wish you all the very best.
Marian Ward Ziegele says
Dear Ruth & family,
I was so sorry to hear of your loss, Art was such a good person, & it showed through even in high school. We also lost Betty Overholtzer Hansen 2 days before Art. I truly enjoyed all our reunions with you & Art, & I hope to see you again some day.
