Glenn C. Waehner died suddenly on Monday, February 14 at Saint Agnes Medical Center in Fresno, California. He was 66 years old, and the husband of 44 years to Susan Waehner.
Born to Rose and Rudolph Waehner in Chicago, Ill., Mr. Waehner held a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering and in physics from Johns Hopkins University, a master’s degree from New York University, and a PE.E (Ph.D. without thesis) in electrical engineering from New York University.
Mr. Waehner launched his career at Norden Systems, a division of United Technologies, where he authored more than 30 patents and played an instrumental role in the Avionics Display program for the Space Shuttle. He became vice president and general manager of Canberra Industries’ Nuclear Instruments division in 1978, and president of American Dynamics in 1985. Under Mr. Waehner’s leadership, American Dynamics became an industry leader in large and mid-sized Closed Circuit Television video matrix systems.

“Glenn believed there was no place more beautiful than Lake George in upstate New York, where he spent childhood summers,” his family said. “To share his passion, he founded Brook Hill Development, the real estate developer behind Lagoon Manor in Bolton Landing, N.Y.”
He enjoyed boating, fishing and spending time with his family.
In addition to his wife, Susan, Mr. Waehner is survived by two sons Kevin and Greg; daughter-in-laws Anne and Catherine; four grandchildren Luke, Grant, Lily and Henry; his sister Sandra, brother-in-law Frank; and two nieces Cheryl and Carolyn.
