Air Force veteran and former Adelanto Mayor Charley B. Glasper, once said, “When I leave this Earth, please know that heaven is where I’m bound, so don’t cry for me.”
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.”

The City of Hesperia has prevailed in a court battle with former District 4 Councilman Jeremiah Brosowske, who sued the municipality after he was ousted by the City Council in September 2019 for alleged non-residency.
Brosowske has always maintained that he resided in Hesperia while running for office and sought to be reinstated. He presented a 200-page document to the council via his attorney that he said offered proof.
However, San Bernardino County Superior Court Judge David Cohn didn’t agree, and this week denied Brosowske’s claim and ruled that he “failed to meet the residency requirement” by not living in the Hesperia District on July 25
