I met Glen when our sons played ice hockey at Brick. They were both goalies so we would talk alot about how tough a position our kids liked to play. A couple of years later I began working at Monmouth Regional HS and who did I run into? Glen. We had many great conversations not only about hockey, but other things as well. He was a nice person and even though I hadn't seen him in a while I will miss him. I will have nothing but good thoughts for the Jonas family.

Your father and I worked together for his entire career at MRHS. I will always remember Thanksgiving 2007. We were both invited to Bob and Val Nash's home for dinner. Neither of us knew the other was coming. It was a wonderful reunion. We talked all night. He was a lovely,kind, gentle man and I will miss him.

My deepest sympathies go out to Glens family. Although I did not have the pleasure of meeting you, I grew up with Glen (and Carl) in East Millstone and we shared many good times as kids here. I am sorry for your loss - Glen has passed way too soon.
