I will miss the sounds of Glenn's keys jiggling coming down the hall to my office. We'd chat for an hour every day discussing about assistive technology issues and what other ideas to improve the Demo Room. I will miss his laugh and his deep love for children. He was always had a meaningful smile to me and many others. Glenn's example and wisdom was profound to all of us at Sanderson Community Center of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. He was a proud man and had many good friends. I am so grateful to have Glenn as my co-worker for the past year. He remodeled the Demo Room. He was always so eager and motivated to make the Demo Room look very professional. He built shelves where we put various kinds of amplified telephones, alerting devices, personal amplified listening systems, and random things that would help the deaf, hard of hearing, deaf-blind and speech challenged consumers. Glenn was full of life. He taught me many things. He had the wisdom of many things. I will forever miss his expert touch. The Demo Room will be dedicated to his name.

Dear Sari and Family,

Glenn meant a lot to me. I learned a lot from him about patience, being willing to accept consequences of one's actions, being supportive but neutral in times of turmoil, boundaries, and teamwork. He was an inspiration to me, and a role model to many others. I continue to use his story as an example to my step-children as well as with others. I know his legacy will live on in all of us. I feel a great sense of loss from his passing, but a great pride in being able to call him my friend.
Love to you all.
Jorie

Just like everyone who know Glenn, he is a very wonderful person and a very good example. Very friendly, hard worker, funny, willing to help anyone and more...

We recently saw him few weeks and often weekly at the Deaf Center. He will never be forgetten greeting us and playing with our son, AJ. Also he came to our house few weeks ago and helped us a lot!

We love you Glenn, Sari and your children!

Sari and Family,
The world of us that knew Glenn are saddened, as am I, by his premature departure from this plane of being. Glenn and I were classmates as well as close friends at WSD. I can say I understood Glenn's spirit, which was so much a delightful one. In our later years, his challenges were mine as well and we had a chance to share our stories. I am glad to know he became a friend of Bill's thru AA and thus must have found true joy in life thru his recovery. For whatever support the family provided to him, I am grateful knowing you took good care of my friend and gave him a chance to be in the Light. I hope all of these messages from us are a source of comfort, for it is our way of wanting to return the care he gave us all in his last six years. May our love and blessings of comfort be in your hearts thru the coming days.

To Sari & The entire family. I'm Glenn's brother in law, married to Glenn's sister, Vicky. After we met you all , it's easy to see what a loving & caring family Glenn married in to. I can see what a true rock of support and love you were for Glenn when he was going through his tough times. You were also that rock of support for Vicky & I during this terrible ordeal. I can see why Glenn loved you all so much. It was with your great help that allowed Glenn to become the man that he finally became. With your help, the "real Glenn" finally came out. And that's how he lived the rest of his life. We are all proud of what Glenn & Sari accomplished and we'll love him and all of you for the rest of our lives.
God bless you all.

We knew Glenn since 1999, we have so many good memories of him. Let me share with you about Glenn. Glenn was a resident of Awakenings from April 3rd, 1999 to June 14th, 1999. After his two month stint, he decided to leave the program and go back to Utah to take care of family matters. On July 6, 1999 he was readmitted into Awakenings residential program to continue his incomplete recovery program. During the time Glenn was a resident at Awakenings, he was motivated, hard working, and learned the twelve steps and recovery tools effectively. Glenn also learned to open up about his addiction behaviors experiences and recovery process at the NA/AA meetings. He supported our residential program clients in many ways, and helped them to understand their twelve steps, was good role model, and displayed his knowledge of boundaries and so on. He showed an excellent ability and willingness to work hard and made sacrifices to his recovery program. Glenn is a wonderful person; he is always displaying a positive and friendly attitude. We always enjoyed having him around.
On January 20, 2000 Glenn completed his six months in the recovery program and met our expectations. After graduating, he and his wife decided to move back to Utah and do new things with their life and started a family again, with their children.
We greatly appreciate the time Glenn spent here at Awakenings for six months. He left nothing but great impressions. He is one of our most successful clients, in their recovery life style. He had his children back, and he had a full time job, and had a nice house. He is a good role model to Deaf people who are in recover programs, we always proud of him.

Sari and family, we were all so sorry to hear about Glenn's death. He was a fine man. Sari, please accept our condolences on the loss of your longtime husband and partner.

Sincerely,

Hwa Chang, Jerry Post & Staff from Awakenings Substance Abuse Recovery Programs for Deaf & Hard of Hearing Persons

I am glad to see that I am not alone... not alone by FAR.

Glenn was one of those rare people that was instantly your Buddy. I met him at the Deaf center. And, although the center can be a scary place for a hearing person, Glen put his hand on my shoulder and greeted me warmly. He had an infectious smile and will not easily be forgotten.

To Sari and your children, although we've never met, your loss is huge. May the memories of his warmth and huge smile brighten your day although he no longer can.

I couldn't believe when I heard the sad news of Glenn's death. I knew him from our school at the WSD. I never knew he was much better than before because I knew his old way in the young years. I last saw him in 1990's before I moved to the East. Sari, you have my sympathy for the loss of your beloved husband.

My heart goes to the family of Glen's. I was shocked when I received the news through my text message from a co worker while I was in the office. It was a strange feeling that Glen died instantly; however, God had his plans for him. Sometimes, we wonder why God take our beloved family member too soon. It is the purpose for God to take our beloved member away. We will understand once we leave on earth.
I will never forget his expression feelings every time we talk, especially the afternoon before he was killed, through the polycom. He said to me, "I love you," in signing. I am not a very expressive person. He is wonderful at expressing his feelings towards people. I won't ever forget his last words.
May God Bless Glenn and the rest of the family.

Sari and everyone in the family, I send you my condolences and I pray for your comfort and peaceful grieving process. Glenn was the nicest person who was an expert at greeting! We all in the Deaf community have loved him a lot for his cheerful and positive attitude, especially wanting to be there for everyone. My heart breaks for you all, but cherish all the memories you had with him. He have done so much on Earth that influenced everyone, including his family and especially everyone who didn't know him that well. Again, my heart goes out to you all in his family and to all his friends. Please remember that we all in the Deaf community will be there for you all all the way. Hugs!!
