Really sad to hear about Glenn’s passing.  So many good memories of him from college and as roommates in medical school.  We spent one summer backpacking in Europe together and had the time of our lives. I will always remember that trip. So much fun.  We lost touch over the years but now as I reflect on our friendship and the memories come flooding back it seems like just yesterday.

I miss Glenn. He helped me in times of need. I am a lawyer and he was a doctor. We had known each other since high school. We were crafty. This is heartbreaking to me and I dwell on it.

Glenn and I were good friends during freshman year at UPenn, 1988-89. I found him to be a kind, caring, thoughtful and intelligent individual.  We spent a lot of time together while one of his friends was on life support after a car wreck. We both transferred to different universities and drifted apart, but I never forgot him and am sorry only that I did not search and reach out to him sooner. I offer my deepest condolences to Glenn's family and friends.

I am saddened to learn of Glenns passing.  With this comes a recollection of some old memories with him.  I recall him always being talkative, full of character, animated, funny and like many others have said kind.    I remember when he started playing a guitar and started introducing me to new music.  These are good memories of a friend from high school days.  My condolences.

Glenn and I were close friends as neighbors and classmates in junior high into high school.  We did almost everything together for a couple of years prior to New Trier.  We wound up going our separate ways in high school because of different interests, but Glenn was always a fantastic person and friend.  I'm so very sorry to hear of his passing and wish the best to his family.  He will be missed by so many people.

Regrettably, memories of Glenn are all that his family and friends now have to sustain themselves with his passing. My husband and I recall an enthusiastic, bright and genuinely likeable New Trier student whose academic accomplishments continued through college and medical school. He was truly "just what the doctor ordered." Nothing will alleviate the pain nor fill the vacuum his departure has caused until we see him again.

Patricia and Roderick Bergin and our son Rod, Glenn's New Trier friend and classmate

Dear Mary Jane,
There are no words of comfort that are adequate for this terrible loss. Please know you are in my heart, thoughts and prayers.  I like to remember Glenn as the sweet little boy, intellectually gifted, who always adored his loving  mom. May his memory be for a blessing.
