Glenn W. Neumann

Glenn W. Neumann, 75, Brockport, New York, passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 12, 2026, after a long and courageous battle with Parkinson's Disease. 

Glenn was predeceased by his parents, Clifford and Pearl (Hotell) Neumann, and his beloved wife of 45 years, Sandra Lee R. (Freese) Neumann. 

He is survived by his sister, Ann (Brian) Roller; nieces Loraleigh Roller and her fiancé, Alex Quintero, and Michelle (Keith) Topper, great-nephew Kyle; several cousins; his dear and longtime best friend, Stephen Mershon; friends Scott and Josh Lemcke and Sandor Kovacs; and many friends within the Trinity Lutheran Church community. 

Glenn was born in Spencerport, NY, on August 2, 1950. In his youth, he was an active member of the 4-H Manitou Indians, earning numerous blue ribbons at the County Fair for his vegetables, cookies and pies. He also did woodworking and received blue ribbons for his boot jack, lamp and several other projects. Glenn participated every year in public presentations at the county and state levels. As a young adult, Glenn loved trail-riding and competing at Monroe County and State 4-H horse shows with his Arab Palomino horse, Stutz. Along with his sister, Ann, he was part of the Hilton Mounted Drill Team led by Don "Bucky" Lemcke, performing in parades and horse shows. 

Glenn enjoyed swimming in the family's swimming pool and earned a Fitness Award from President Kennedy for swimming 50 miles in a single summer. He loved science projects and participated in many science fairs. One of his most prized projects was building a solar BBQ cooker...and it worked! Growing up, he also enjoyed climbing trees, hiking around the farm, driving the tractor, and harvesting the hay. 

Upon graduating from high school, Glenn received a full scholarship to the University of Rochester for Science and Chemistry. He later transferred to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), where he earned his Bachelor's Degree, and went on to complete his Master's Degree in Chemistry from the University of Michigan. 

Glenn and Sandy met while working on a horse farm, fell in love. They wed in August, 1977, and were married for 45 years until Sandy's passing in 2022. They remained dedicated lifetime members of the 4-H Club. Together, they built their home in Spencerport and established Neumann Farms, where they spent many years raising livestock, growing vegetables, and caring for their horses. They were also deeply devoted members of the Trinity Lutheran Church in Spencerport, cherishing the many friendships they made through their faith community.

Professionally, Glenn worked as a chemist for Dad's Dog Food, followed by a 17-year career at Kodak. He concluded his career at Rochester Radiator in Lockport. During his retirement, Glenn continued to operate Neumann Farms alongside Sandy. 

Glenn's faith was a cornerstone of his life, bringing him immense strength and comfort. We take solace in knowing he is now at peace, pain-free, walking tall and resting eternally. 

Family and friends are invited to gather on Tuesday, July 28, from 10:00am to 11:00am at Newcomer Funeral Home, 2636 Ridgeway Avenue, Rochester, NY. A funeral service will begin at 12:00pm at Trinity Lutheran Church, Spencerport, NY, with burial immediately following at Parma Corners Cemetery, 1837 North Union Street, Spencerport, NY.
