Clifford R. Glowacki

Clifford R. Glowacki, age 71, entered eternal life on Friday, April 11, 2014. He was born in January, 1943 in Chicago to Henry and Anne Glowacki who preceded him in death. Cliff is survived by Julie, his wife of nearly 49 years. He is also survived by his son David Glowacki, daughter-in-law Molli, grandchildren Clifford, Nathan, Suzanna, Viktor, Yelena, daughter Karen Glowacki, and daughter Leah Coghlan and granddaughters Lara and Finley. Cliff was a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire with a degree in analytical chemistry and was employed by Ashland Chemical Company in Dublin, Ohio for nearly 30 years. During that time, he was certified as an industrial hygienist (CIH) and was active in many professional organizations including AIHA (American Industrial Hygienist Association), OVCS (Ohio Valley Chromatography Symposium), ACGIH (American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienist), AFS (American Foundry Society), SES (Source Evaluation Society), ACS (American Chemical Society) and the Air and Waste Management Association. Cliff also served on the editorial boards of several professional publications and was a regular presenter at professional conferences. In 1999, Cliff retired from Ashland Chemical and moved with Julie to Sacramento, CA to work for Technikon, LLC, which deepened his involvement with the foundry industry. After moving back to Dublin in 2004, Cliff founded his own consulting company, Covenant Associates. For nearly thirty years, Cliff and Julie cherished their involvement in the Columbus Cum Cristo movement, most recently serving as Lay Directors. Cliff was also very involved in the Kairos Prison Ministry, witnessing to God’s love in several Ohio prisons. Cliff was a founding member of St. Brigid of Kildare Church in Dublin, where he served on the building committee. He also served as an usher and as an Eucharistic Minister. His family will always believe that his greatest accomplishments were as a loving husband and dedicated father and grandfather.
