The 84-year-old Glasper, who served three terms on the Adelanto City Council, died Friday evening at Victor Valley Global Medical Center in Victorville after going into cardiac arrest at home, according to his wife, Evelyn Malcom-Glasper, who spoke with the Daily Press.
“He was five days away from celebrating his 85th birthday,” she said. “Charley always told me that he wanted to live to be 100 so Willard Scott from ‘The Today Show’ could announce his birthday on TV.”
