Read MoreI knew Glenn Ferrell at Garfield Senior High School in Hamilton, Ohio. He had an easy-going temperament and a fine sense of humor. I knew him as a generous soul, gracious and kind. I was quite fond of him and am much saddened by his loss us. I'm grateful our paths had crossed. His death saddens me much. My condolences to his family, to all his loved ones. May he rest in peace.

I have many fond memories of tagging along with Glen when he was on leave from the Navy. He was a kind brother and had an easy laugh.
