Robert
‘Glen’ Bustle, 88, passed away July 23, 2022 at Ripley Crossing in
Milan, Indiana. He was born July 29, 1933 to the late John and Roxie
(Nicely) Bustle in Livingston, Kentucky. Glen married
Marjory Carol Bustle Sept 12, 1952. They have been long time residents
of Versailles, IN and are active members of the Versailles Church of
Christ. Glen
was a retired, self-employed logger and had a love of the outdoors. He
was an avid hunter, fisherman and gardener. Glen had an engineering mind
and was an excellent craftsman.
He
was a private person who found peace in nature and was often found on
the front porch swing, whistling a tune, or strumming his fingers
against his leg while gazing at the valley he loved.
He had faith in his fellow man and believed in the value of a person’s
word and the binding strength of a simple handshake. Glen
loved to laugh, was full of mischief and was fond of a good practical
joke. He loved his family to pieces and enjoyed time sitting around a
campfire, having fish fries by the creek and joining
together for holiday gatherings. He had a competitive spirit, whether
it be who caught the most fish, won the most games of corn hole or won
the most hands of Rook.
Many
of his family were blessed to have been taught to shoot a gun, cast a
fishing line, or paddle a canoe. His grandchildren will hold dear the
memories of being pushed on the trusty porch
swing and of being bounced on his knee as he hummed a tune in a way
that only he could. Glen
is survived by his wife Margie and their three children: Randy Bustle
(Martha), Darrell Bustle (Dawn) & Lisa Ritchie (David). They have
six grandchildren; Jennifer Engle (Steve), Amanda
Brooks, Lorina Schneider (Christopher), Michele Logan, Leann Redwine
(Nathaniel), Michaela Bustle (Ethan); 16 great grandchildren & 7
great great grandchildren.
In
addition to his parents, Glen was proceeded in death by his Stepmother,
Eliza (Renner) Bustle; Sisters, Flonie Williamson, Mae Mcclure, Virgie
Mink & Lillian Anderson; Brothers, Willie Denver,
Charles, James and Jesse Bustle; Great Grandsons, Cameron & Keaton
