To all of the Glavin Families: I just recently learned of the passing of Neil, and I am so sorry for your loss. Neil and I grew up together...living down the block from each other and attending Good Shepherd together. God Bless you all and be with you at this time of sadness. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

I saw the sad news only this morning when Kathleen's memorial invitation was sent out for Neil via Facebook. I am deeply saddened by Neil's passing - although we have not seen each over the years since he attended my wedding with his dad. The Glavin family has endured so much over the years and will see this through with that same strength. My thoughts are with Marci, their boys and the entire Glavin family. Jerry - you are a rock - may God be at your side once again to pull you through this.

Marci, my deepest condolences. Neil and I went to 8 years of Good Shepherd and 4 years at West together. He was always the nicest person to know. I remember as a kid sleeping over at the Glavins and sneaking downstairs for ice cream in the store. God Bless,Pat Brown

I met Neil and Marci 23 years ago, while planning their wedding, Neil was young but managed to be both sincere and hilarious at the same time. As he got older, both of those qualities only ripened. Although I didn't get to see him very often over the last 18 years, I am heartbroken over his passing, and for Marci, Ryan, Colin, Brendan, and the whole family. ~ Fennelle

"Healing prayers are with and all around you, the boys and entire family. Remember his humor, laughter, love, his soul.dawnp" An Irish Prayer "God saw him getting tired, so He put His arms around him and whispered “come to me.” A golden heart stopped beating and put hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best." unknown

So sorry to hear of Neil's passing. Grew up in SW with him and went to GS with him. Can't believe he landed in Fallston, MD at St. Mark's as I have immediate family living there and attending the same church. Small world. I pray that the Good Lord will bless you all as you go through this most difficult of times. Sincerely, Rosemarie Roche Springfield, PA

July 3, 2011

Neil was as nice and easy going as a human being could be. I haven't seen Neil since my teenage years (almost 30 years ago) but his personality makes it feel like I seen him a month ago. God bless you Neil and to all of the Glavin's family and friends. Take care.
