David Harold Glass, 87, of Fellowsville, passed away on Saturday, June 11, 2022, at Preston Memorial Hospital, with family by his side. He was born on Aug. 31, 1934, in Pruntytown, son of the late Simon Oliver and Sadie Florida Phillips Glass.
Dave graduated from Fellowsville High School, Class of 1952. He was retired from the Preston County Board of Education as a bus driver after 26 years. He also owned and operated Dave’s Service Center in Fellowsville and was co-owner of Dutch’s Service for many years. Dave enjoyed woodworking and making trips to Florida. Throughout his life, he was a hard worker, and he could build anything. He often would lend a hand to family and friends. He had a heart of gold and was loved by many. When you saw Dave, his wife, Thelma, was beside him or not far behind him getting the job done.

Ely; one grandson, Anthony; five sisters; Geraldine Julian, Virginia “Ginger” Phillips, Rosalee Lohr and Louise and Lucille Glass at infancy; two brothers, Joseph H. Glass and Oliver R. Glass; and his in-laws, Howard and Dona Knotts.
