Glenn Hollis
November 23, 1954 — October 5, 2025
Glenn Hollis, 70, passed away on October 5, 2025. He was the devoted husband of Regina (nee Diodato). Loving son in law of Francis Diodato and brother in law of Donna Febbo (Frank) and Dominic Diodato (Joanne). Beloved nephew of Marie Francis. Predeceased by his parents Lewis Hollis and Jessie Hollis (nee Gunther) and brothers Albert Gunther and Clarence Gunther. He is also survived by many loving nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Glenn had an immense passion for helping families and children that brought him to an over 20 year career at the Philadelphia Child Guidance Clinic. He then went on to work for the Northern Home for Children and the Barber Institute where he cared for disabled, geriatric males. The pride he brought to his work has helped so many in need.
Glenn enjoyed life to the fullest and took pleasure in a few simple things, the beach, travel, sports, and of course Budweiser. In his younger years he traveled Europe exploring Spain, Portugal, and Morocco. In later years he and his wife took to many adventures in travel in and out of the states. But despite seeing the world, Atlantic City had his heart. Glenn and Regina spent their summers on the beach from sun up to sun down. Sports were a major part of his life with his favorite teams the Cowboys, Lakers, Sixers and most of all the Phillies. The ballpark was like home and nothing beat watching the Phils with a Budweiser in hand.
Glenn’s greatest love and passion of all was for his wife Regina. The couple were married for 28 years with their relationship spanning for 42 years.The two created a life together that exemplified love, loyalty, and devotion facing each obstacle life brought them the way a relationship should be, together. That love was truly shown as Glenn faced the last hurdle of his life in his battle with ALS with Regina by his side every step of the way.
