Mrs. Gladden the entire Cox Family would like to extent our condolences on the loss of Mr. Gladden. The both of you served Plainfield in so many ways. I recalled the last conversation the I had with Mr. Gladden and even then he was telling me how to improve the Plainfield Schools. Some may find this note to be very formal. But is that Touch of Class that you and Mr. Gladden put in thousands of Plainfielder's especially the young during your time here. May God begin the Process of Healing your Heart!
Peace & Blessings, Martin P. Cox & Family

How sad to hear of Gil's passing, we think of you both often as we reflect on the good old days of Planfield when you both worked so tirelessly to do what was not easy or popular, but what was in the best interests of the children. I know that phrase gets thrown around a lot, but you two as a couple did that over and over, it was ALWAYS about Plainfield and the education of her students. So many adults are better people because of you and Gil. Our heartfelt sympathy for your loss. He left the world a better place for having been here.

Gil Gladden was a positive influence on me and many young men when he served as Scoutmaster to Troop 16, White rock Baptist Church of West Philadelphia. I had no idea at the time that he was, by example, teaching us the principles of Manhood, Scholarship, Perserverance and Uplift. Those principles became oh so clear when Gil, and my father inducted me into our great fraternity - Omega Psi Phi, Inc.

To Mary and the Gladden family. We are very saddened in the loss of Gil. He was our role model and the template for all aspiring and current Omega brothers. Gil kept order in the meetings and provided plenty of levity when he would "Rise to a point of order". Gil was blessed to have you in his life because you gave him the best of all worlds. God Bless
