Glenn W. Cullen's Obituary
Glenn Cullen, 86, of Princeton, New Jersey passed away on January 23rd, 2018. He is survived by his wife, Patricia, and daughter, Kimberly. He was a man of art and science, forever curious and creative. He welcomed new experiences as an opportunity to learn and engage with others.
He was a talented artist, working in charcoal, clay, and bronze, often using his chemist's knowledge to experiment with new materials. He exhibited in many local galleries and won awards for his sculpture. He was a dedicated writing tutor at Trenton Central High for many years and also enjoyed his writing group at the Princeton Public Library. He created a collection of stories about his family's roots in Lake Bass Island, a small Island in Lake Erie of fishermen and vintners. He took advantage of living near Lake Carnegie to regularly engage in his love of sailing and rowing.
Glenn was born in Nashville, Tennessee in 1931 to Marie and Glenn Cullen Senior and grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio. He had two sisters, Donna Jean and Mary Alice. His father worked with Albert Sabin developing the polio vaccine.
Glenn earned a PhD in Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Illinois in 1956. He was a Captain in the U.S. Army where he taught electronics. He worked at RCA Laboratories/Sarnoff Corporation from 1958 to 1999. He supervised the development of materials used in electronic devices. He authored or co-authored 61 papers and has 9 patents. Glenn was a member of the Electrochemical Society, American Association for Crystal Growth, Federation of Materials Society, and Princeton Officers Society.
In lieu of flowers please consider a donation in Glenn's name to Year Up (yearup.org) an organization that he regularly supported based on his experiences tutoring. A memorial service will take place at a later date.
