Peter L.
Glawe
Mar 20, 1969 — May 29, 2023
Riverside
In Loving Memory of Peter L. Glawe
March 20, 1969 - May 29, 2023
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Peter Glawe, a beloved son, husband, father, uncle and friend. Peter left this world on Monday, May 29, 2023 leaving his parents, Ron and Priscilla "Chris" Glawe of Aurora, IL, his beloved wife of 23 years, Jill Glawe (née Slimko) and daughters Catherine (19) and Olivia Glawe (18).
His role as a father to Catherine and Olivia was a source of immeasurable joy and pride. Peter's love and guidance helped shape them into remarkable young women, instilling in them values of compassion, resilience, and integrity.
One of Peter's passions was working on home projects, and he shared this love with his father. Together, they transformed Jill and Peter's house in Riverside, IL into a home. From small fix-it jobs to creating entire rooms from scratch, Peter's skills knew no bounds. He took great pride in his ability to tackle any project and make their house a warm and welcoming space for their family. This was never more apparent than at Christmastime, when Peter adopted his alter persona, "Clark Griswold". Peter loved all things Christmas, and truly cherished the traditions of finding and cutting down the fattest tree you've ever seen for their home each year.
The wake to honor Peter's life and to shower his family with love will be held on Friday, June 2, from 3 - 8 p.m. at Conboy-Westchester Funeral Home (10501 W Cermak Rd, Westchester, IL 60154). Funeral services will be held on Saturday, June 3 at Christ Church Oak Brook (501 Oak Brook Road, Oak Brook, IL 60523), with visitation at 10:00 a.m. and service at 11:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, memorials to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (www.stjude.org) or the National Alliance on Mental Illness (www.nami.org) are appreciated.
