Dear Family, I am so lucky to have known Jeff since his early days in Newburgh. We both attended Grace Church and were in the choir together. Our parents were friends so we often played as kids. I had the wonderful opportunity to see Jeff again at the Groundhog Ball at Clinton Ave Methodist church in Kingston this past February when Glory Road performed there. Jeff was an amazing person, full of the spirit of God and I am truly sorry. Dona MacWilliams

Dear Family Glassey,
Pastor Glassey was our favorite minister here in Bellmore. He related exceptionally well with children and young adults, and I think he was the most influential person in the Christian education of my three sons. His sermons were always thought provoking and his humor was always appreciated by all of us. We remember all of you fondly. God's blessing be with you now in this time of sorrow. With sincere sympathy, Bob, Abbie, Derek, Aaron, and Robert Bernard
