July 27, 2020

Darryl L. Glover, 70, husband of the former, Debra L. White, born July 10, 1950, to the late Leon B. Glover, Sr. and the late Romaine C. Ransom Glover Banks, passed away unexpectedly on the morning of Monday, July 27, 2020 at his home in Lancaster, PA.

Darryl is survived by his children, Dana L. Glover and Brookes E. C. White, Sr. (Melody) both of Lancaster and Curtis L. Winslow of Smyrna, DE; grandchildren, Azzur Glover and Brookes E. C. White, Jr.; and siblings, Gwen, Buddy (Charlotte) and Bonnie Glover, all of Lancaster; in-laws, Crystal Harmon, Daphne Sharpe, Charles C. White, III and Ivy Dixon.

He was preceded in death by his first wife Lois I. (Boots) Glover and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George and Irene Boots, and parent-in-laws Mr. & Mrs. Charles and Ida White Jr.

Darryl was a 1968 graduate of J. P. McCaskey High School where he lettered in basketball, football, and baseball. He graduated in 1997 from Millersville University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education. He started his teaching career in September of 1997, with the School District of Lancaster after completing his student teaching at Washington and Martin Elementary Schools. While at Price Elementary, he had an annual Christmas tradition of gifting each of his students a brand new $2 bill. He retired from teaching in 2012. Prior to his teaching career, he worked at Armstrong World Industries, the Prescott House, and Sperry Rand New Holland.

Darryl, with his late wife Lois, were former owners and operators of Castle Sandwich Shop on S. Duke Street. A deeply religious man, Darryl was a member of Ebenezer Baptist Church and attended Bethel A.M.E. Church, with his wife Debra. He was a former member at the Grace Baptist Church of Millersville, PA.

Darryl had a love for children, education, gospel music, singing, dancing and sports. At Ebenezer, he was a Sunday School Teacher, a Superintendent of Sunday School, Director of the Young Adult Choir and sang on the Men’s Choir while also being involved in the Youth Ministry. He was also a co-founder of an Educational Scholarship program.

He was one of the founding members of the Lancaster Community Gospel Choir, sang with a local gospel group, Just Friends, in addition to singing with the Vision Choir at Bethel A.M.E. Church.

Darryl was co-founder of the Glory to God Baseball League for youth; he played on the Mary Ballentine Hair Salon Baseball team and was the Bowling Coach at McCaskey High School. His Saturday mornings were spent with the Men’s Breakfast/ Tennis Club playing tennis and eating breakfast with good friends, Earl “Papa” Boots, Juan Galarza, Al Hopkins, Russ Howell and the late Steven “Bird” Powell. One of their annual traditions was attending the US Open Tennis Tournament.

Darryl and his family received Family of the Year awards from the Mt Horeb Lodge #14 Free and Accepted Masons’ and Grace Baptist Church. He served as the President of the Boys’ Club Alumni Association in 1980 and was the Senior Boys’ Head Basketball Coach at the Boys’ Club for several years, winning a championship. In 1993, he was inducted into the Boys’ & Girls’ Club Alumni Association Hall of Fame. He received an award from Ebenezer Baptist Church for being the Youth Director for three years.
Following state guidelines of Covid-19, masks will be required at church.

Darryl’s celebration of life service will be held on Saturday August 1, 2020 at 11 AM from Brightside Baptist Church at 515 Hershey Avenue Lancaster, PA 17603. Visitation and viewing will be held at Brightside from 9 AM to 10:45 AM. Interment will be held at Mellinger Mennonite Cemetery.

I was a classmate of Darryl’s at McCaskey. We had many classes together and I remember him as such a nice guy and always had a great smile. Glad he brought so much joy to his students. My husband knew him through school also. We are so sorry for your loss and our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Darryl was a classmate of mine at McCaskey and he was an all-around great guy. Deepest sympathies to all his family for this sad loss. We can’t know why he was called home now but surely there was a purpose. Hopefully his legacy will carry on in all who knew and loved him.

It was an absolute honor and gift to have worked alongside G. Lover (as I would call him) for 12 years at Price Elementary School. He was a role model, an inspiration, a father figure, a man of deep faith, and a good friend.  Yes, Darryl could sing. But his smile, his laugh, and his warm spirit is what I will miss. Our thoughts and prayers to you Deb and the entire family. We love you. AJ & Daisy Beamer

To the Glover Family,
The Clack Family hearts are heavy. On Monday we lost our brother, and uncle. Our family will always remember the Griswalds vacations (Darryl was known as the camp counselor), and for his dance and singing lessions.  Darryl always had a nickname for everyone, and supported our family during many milestones. Darryl will be remembered in our hearts forever.
Rest in peace my brother.
Maurice Sr., Georgia, Maurice Jr., and Lamar.

I was a classmate of Darryl’s at McCaskey.  As I recall, we sat next to each other in a class or two and our lockers were in close proximity so we saw each other frequently. Darryl was a great person as a teen and he proved that to be true throughout his life. Darryl’s legacy remains with many individual lives that he touched. May God’s hand hold you tightly and provide you with strength, comfort and peace. Nancy Banzhof ’68

My deepest condolences to Deb and the family.  My fondest memories of Darryl were at Price Elementary School.  There were many days when I could hear him singing on the other side of the wall that we shared as he pepared for the students to arrive. He loved working with the children and they knew just how much he cared for each one of them.  He will be missed.  My prayers are with you during this difficult time.       God Bless.
