I
didn't know too much about Mr.Asato, but I did know he was a good
person ready and willing to help other people. He was also strong in his beliefs. and his faith, so I know he is in a better place.

Our hearts are with Anne, Mark, and Sara for the loss of your beloved husband and father. We all have fond memories of Glenn -- as a committed Cub Scout leader, active school volunteer and PTA president, loyal community servant, and all-around good neighbor and friend. Glenn gave generously of his time and talent to the Village of Homewood, local arts and non-profit organizations, and countless other good causes. His spirit of giving was genuine and selfless and lives on through his many contributions. Glenn’s humble and gracious manner and positive outlook on life will continue to be a model for all of us to live well, laugh often, and love much.
With sincere sympathy,
Maryellen, Bill, Eric, and Michael Hofmann

My family and I were deeply saddened to hear of Glenn's passing. My son Andrew played hockey with his son Mark and Glenn was the manager of the first team that Andrew ever played on. Glenn always had a smile on his face for the children and the parents. He seemed to know how to lift up the kids spirits whenever they were down after loosing a game. He also gave them the encouragement they needed. We were fortunate to have Andrew be with Glenn as a manager for quite a few years. We just saw Glenn in January. It was wonderful to see him. All of us had a chance to know Glenn and value having known him. He was a truly exceptional human being. We will all miss him very much. Our deepest sympathy to Glenn's family. Mark, Margie, Andrew, & Ashley Banach

Mr. Asato was one of the most positive and uplifting people I have ever met in my life. When he coached my brother, I saw their practices and he truly believed in FUN as being the key word to describe it. Aside from encouraging my brother and I to keep playing, he also taught him some good life lessons for the short time he coached my brother. Mr. Asato will be missed dearly by myself, my brother Justin, and especially by the rest of my family too. May he Rest in Peace.

I only had Coach Asato for a season or two but he was one of the nicest guys I have ever met. Coach Asato was the one person who helped me keep my grades up so I could be on his team. He would always have a smile on his face when I would see him and that is what I am going to deeply miss about him.
my sympathies,
Justin
