I knew Glenn when he worked at the Capitol Building. He helped me tremendously!! He gave me some advice that changed my life when I thought it couldnt get any worse. He really saved me.....I will never forget him!! The ultimate friend!! May you rest in peace.
I am forever grateful to you!!
Glenn was a good friend. He believed in me for some unknown reason and provided encouragement. We met once, when we came to New Orleans for July 4th. He took my wife and I to a local rooftop party. It was an amazing night and I will remember it forever. I hope you are wrong about there being no afterlife. Godspeed, friend.
Farewell, Glenn. Never suffer bad meals or fools again.
In 1969 when Eunice High and Charles Drew merged, Glen invited Sheila Loeb, Stanley Johnwell and myself to his house to break the ice. When we arrived at his house, there was a sign on the door. "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" We could not contain our laughter and joy. Thanks Glenn for making us feel welcome.

I met Glenn through my best friend who dated him for a while. I learned about his big fun and I was excited to meet him and date him. I was 19 and he was somewhere in his thirties. He enjoyed working on my overall lack of knowledge but always taught me by the conversations with me. We lost touch when I moved from BR in 87 and rekindled a wonderful friendship when I moved to NO in 98. He is missed but fondly remembered.
Though we agreed very little on all things political I never questioned Glenn’s sincerity and tremendous heart. I will miss him.
RIP, my friend.
I never met Glenn in person, but we've been friends on social media for just over 10 years. His perspective and snark were always wonderfully razor sharp and spoke to lifetimes of experiences well beyond his years. Although we frequently agreed over politics and socioeconomic policies, I always learned the most from him when our opinions diverged. I'm going to miss his presence and the way he drew deep lines in the sand around his well-formed perspectives. He seemed to be driven by the forces of outraged compassion that should make all of us better people. My deepest condolences to all of his other friends, family, and loved ones. I'll miss him deeply.
Glenn and I were classmate...he was always the life of the party with his wit and humor...he touched a lot of hearts during his lifetime...everyone that knew will truly miss him...enjoyed our facebook quiz challenges, a means of staying in touch....Glenn always managed to beat me by a point or 2...same thing in high school on exams...Rest in peace my friend....Thoughts and prayers for all his friends and family
One of the good guys. I met Glenn in person for the first time just a couple of months ago for grilled oysters in the French Quarter after a few years of teasing Facebook jabs about living on opposite sides of Canal Street. I have always enjoyed his perspective on things, and appreciate his tough fighting spirit and snarky humor as a weapon against ignorant expression. Politics were supremely important to Glenn, professionally and personally. A person could do no better than to have Glenn fighting in their corner. He probably really hated only a few people, because, I think, he believed all good people could be reformed to a more enlightened viewpoint. I liked Glenn very much, and the planet and this city are diminished by his loss. I shall strive to be more like Glenn, to balance out the difference in the world made by his departure. Farewell my friend.
