Norman A. Glaza, 86, long time resident of Hazel Park, departed this earth on 
Sunday, April 13, 2014, to join his beloved wife, Beatrice. He now rests in the 
arms of the Lord. Norman was born April 1, 1928, in Paris Township, Huron 
County, to Aloysz and Martha (Klama) Glaza. He married Beatrice Terbrack on 
Nov. 1, 1949, at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Ruth. She preceded him 
in death on Oct. 16, 2006.
Norman spent his early years on the family farm in Paris Township. After his 
marriage, he and his bride moved to Ferndale, and Norm started working in the 
auto parts manufacturing industry. He worked at various auto parts factories 
until his retirement on Aug. 1, 1991, from Masco Tech. Norm enjoyed his 
retirement immensely and always was on the go. He made frequent trips “up 
North” and especially looked forward to St. Mary’s festival in Parisville and 
the Mama Ruth festival. He also made it a point to attend numerous church 
festivals in the Detroit area, especially if Big Daddy Lackowski was part of 
the entertainment. He loved listening to the polkas. His travels were curtailed 
in 2001 when he developed wet macular degeneration, but he still managed to 
make frequent trips up North and attend the church festivals whenever he could 
hitch a ride. In 1952, Norman and Beatrice purchased their first home in Hazel 
Park. In 1957, they had a new home built in Hazel Park to accommodate their 
growing family. Norman remained in that home for 56 years. He was a member of 
St. Justin Catholic church for 56 years, where he also was an usher. He was a 
member of the Knights of Columbus Council 3835 for 59 years. Norm was the last 
person left of the quartet made up of Norm and Beatrice and his brother Art and 
Art’s wife, Rita, who was Beatrice’s sister. He now has rejoined the circle, 
and so an era has ended. Norm’s family wants to acknowledge his niece, Adeline 
Harris, for her kind and loving care of their father in the last weeks of his 
life. We owe a great debt of gratitude to Adeline that cannot be expressed in 
mere words.
Left to mourn his death are his six children, Norma (Gary) Novick of Warren, 
James (Diane) Glaza of Clawson, John (Colleen) Glaza of Warren, Marie Glaza of 
Warren, Robert (Becky) Glaza of Madison Heights and David Glaza of Pontiac; one 
loving daughter-in-law, Kim Rachow and her husband, Mark, of Troy; 12 
grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren; brother, Marshall; in-law’s, John 
Terbrack, Donald (Nancy) Terbrack, Billie Johnson, Adelaide (Jerome) Block, 
Alice (Ken) Sadro, Rosalia (Richard) Holdwick and Delores (Harry) Roggenbuck. 
He was preceded in death by two sons, Kenneth and Alan; brother, Arthur and his 
wife, Rita (Terbrack) Glaza; two sisters, Angeline Pyrek and Eleanor Vrobel and 
her husband, Steve; in-laws, Herbert, Marvin, Maruis, Gerald, Herman and 
Clarence Terbrack, Donna (Stimpfel) Terbrack, Evelyn (Terbrack) Learman and her 
husband, Art, Jeanette (Terbrack) Seidl and her husband, Frank, and Matilda 
(Terbrack) Johnson. 
A funeral mass will be conducted at 10 a.m. Thursday at St. Justin Catholic 
Church in Hazel Park.
Vitation will be from 3 to 9 p.m. Wednesday at Hopcroft Funeral Home at 23919 
John R. Road, Hazel Park, MI, 48030. He will lie in state from 9:30 a.m. until 
the funeral mass at the church.
