Glen M. Hering, 49, resident of Milford, NH, died on April 15, 2019 at the Community Hospice House, Merrimack, NH surrounded by his loving family, after a courageous 3 ½ year battle with liver cancer. He was born on March 6, 1970, in Methuen, MA to Bruce E. Hering and Carol A. (Tombarello) Hering-Baechle. Glen was raised and educated in Methuen, MA. Family members include his mom, Carol and his Step-Dad, Robert (Bob) E. Baechle with whom he resided; his wife, Lori I. (Duarte) Hering whom he married on July 12, 2015 and who has been a big part of his support system that has helped him live the last six months of his life; his older Brothers, Kenneth Hering of Ft. Myers, FL, Steven Hering of Plaistow, NH, Robert Hering of Milford, NH. He was a longtime friend to the Evers family of Lawrence, MA and helped in raising Danielle, Adam and Eric Evers for 17 years and enjoyed the company of their children. He also leaves behind several nieces and nephews and aunts and uncles. He will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved him. He was a roofer by trade and worked for several companies in his lifetime before suffering a stroke in 2005. He worked at John C. Tombarello & Son’s Salvage Experts in Lawrence, MA, Servpro of Lawrence, MA, Joe Zisa Landscaping, Farris Tree Service, Rockingham Sheet Metal and Witch City Roofing of Salem MA, his last employment of 17 years, before his stroke. Some of the most favorite things that Glen loved to do were picking Ricci Del Mar, (Sea Urchins) with his Grandfather Rocco Tombarello and later with his Uncle Michael Tombarello. When he was younger, he held a special place in his heart for time spent swimming, fishing and boating at the family camp “Lazy Daze” on Little Island Pond with all of the Hering family. He was an outdoor kind of person and enjoyed working around the yard at the home in Methuen MA and Milford, NH, his parent’s home, for the last 9 years of his life. Most recently, he found great pleasure mingling with his new found friends at the VFW in Milford, NH where he played a game of pool as often as he could. His pets (and he had many of them) were a joy in his life. He adored his cat Kozmo, his most recent cat Nikki and Penny the family dog. Glen was an avid reader of Jack Reacher books authored by Lee Child, he read every one of them and always added to his collection. He enjoyed word search puzzles, was a master of them and could finish them in sequence faster than anyone we know. He loved to draw sketches of “Kilroy Was Here” in the snow, sand and on the steamed up windows and on all his paperwork. “Kilroy Was Here” signed by G.M.H was his favorite signature. He liked taking long walks in the woods looking for the perfect branch to make his walking sticks that he shared freely with many people whom he knew. He was predeceased by his son, Aaron Glen Hering/Holden who died in 2013. At the request of the Family there will be no calling hours. In lieu of flowers, please send memorial contributions in his name to the Christian Fellowship Church of the Merrimack Valley, PO Box 2181 Methuen, MA 01844.

A celebration of life will be held at the Tenney Memorial Chapel, Corner of Railroad and Grove Streets, Methuen, MA, at a date to be determined. Interment will be in the Immaculate Conception Cemetery in Methuen, MA at the family grave sites of Tombarello and Hering. Glen will be buried alongside his Dad, Bruce E. Hering.
