It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Glenn Miller, former Vice President and one of the founders of Custom Control Solutions, on July 9, 2026.
On September 4, 2004, Glenn and Manfred Laner founded CCS with a vision, determination, and a single employee. Through their leadership, that vision grew into the company we know today, with nearly 50 dedicated employees.
Glenn served as our Production Manager until his retirement in 2022. During his career, he helped shape not only our company but also the people who worked alongside him. He will always be remembered for his quick wit, infectious laugh, and the unmistakable red pen he was never without.
Glenn earned the respect of customers, vendors, and coworkers alike. To many of us, he was far more than a manager—he was a leader, mentor, counselor, and friend. Some even considered him a father figure. He had a remarkable gift for knowing just the right thing to say, whether encouraging a team, resolving a difficult situation, or helping someone navigate a challenge.
Beyond his leadership, Glenn was an exceptional technician. His knowledge, attention to detail, and ability to solve even the most complex problems made him a trusted resource for customers and colleagues alike. If there was an answer to be found, Glenn was usually the one who found it.
When Glenn retired in 2022, we celebrated not only his many accomplishments but also the opportunity for him to enjoy the next chapter of life. We are grateful he was able to spend the past four years creating cherished memories with his beloved wife, Kathy, his children, Melissa and Kenneth, his grandchildren, great-grandchild, and his many extended family members and friends.
Glenn's legacy lives on in the company he helped build, the people he mentored, and the countless lives he touched. He will be deeply missed and never forgotten.
"How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard." — A.A. Milne
Our thoughts and prayers are with Kathy, their family, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing Glenn.
