Sandra and Nathaniel,
Please accept my condolences. I was shocked and saddened to hear of Glenn's passing. Though his tenure at Cornell ended long ago we kept in touch through the years. He was extremely proud of you both and always excited to tell of his new ventures. His introduction to Dian Fossey and being the first faculty that I worked for at Cornell changed the course of my life. With the greatest respect, I'll miss his annual e-mail.

I was shocked and saddened to learn of Glenn's passing...I worked with him and learned every day from his thoughtful, inspired approach to business...but also learned from his very human approach to life...his love for his son and Sandra was clear every day...the world will miss this bright businessman and outstanding person...

I am so very sorry for your loss. Although I wasn't really able to get to know Glen, everyone tells me what a great person he truly was. I can now say that I feel your pain, as my father just recently passed away. Its extremely tough, and the road is rocky ahead of the two of you, but I know we can get through this together. Deepest condolences, and may God bless you.

Sandra and Nathaniel,

Gerry, David, and I were very sorry to hear about Glenn. He was a fabulous person, with a terrific sense of humor.

Sandra, I'm sorry we've lost touch with each other. If there is anything we can do to help out in the future, please let us know.

Nathaniel, I know that Glenn was extraordinarily proud of you. He was just sparkling with joy and pride the night of your Barmitzvah. Whenever we saw Glenn, at Ansche Emet and socially, he had something wonderful to say about you. He told lots of stories about hiking with you, and he talked about how much he loved the time he spent with you on those trips. He also said that having you was one of the best things that ever happened to him.

Our thoughts are with you.

Jackie, Gerry, and David Coyne

I was so saddened to hear the news, when Glen and I last emailed, I really had hoped things were looking up, he was a true fighter. Glenn was not only one of the most amazing business associates, but I also considered him a dear friend that will sorely be missed. Know that my prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.

To the many people whose life's were made better by knowing Glenn:

To Sandra and Nathaniel, almost every time I talked to Glenn there was mention of something wonderful the two of you had done, hiking the high Sierra Loop, getting back to running... and the passion about his other family at Parnters in Loyalty, and his plans to retire. I was only a business advisor to Glenn but always felt a personal connection. An exemplary individual like Glenn creates wonderful space for those he loves. Glenn did that and I believe that space will always remain.

My deepest sympathies,

Glenn was a colleague at Precision Marketing and, while he was there, helped define the personality of the organization. I wish I could be making this entry from an Apple computer because then Glenn would be smiling on me.
