William Glasgow Obituary
Outside of his Law Practice, Bill worked tirelessly for the Howard County Youth Program (HCYP) in Maryland for more than 20 years, to give young athletes a better sports experience. Bill coached, refereed, organized leagues & tournaments, scheduled games, and served as commissioner. Bill also served as a member of HCYP's Board of Directors and as General Counsel to the Board. He revived a Memorial Day baseball tournament (1982) that is still ongoing, organized HCYP's 1st girls fast-pitch program (1983) & later the 1st national fast-pitch tournament played in Maryland (1990). Bill fostered travel teams in softball, baseball & basketball. Bill also initiated a proposal that led to Howard County purchasing Kiwanis-Wallas Park, the home of the HCYP program. The Howard County Department of Recreation and Parks, proudly inducted Bill Glasgow into the Hall of Fame in 2005.
Bill is survived by his wife, Marcella Kirsch Glasgow, daughter Lois Glasgow Brusven, son Eric William Glasgow, son-in-law Shaw Brusven, grandchild William Brusven, Eric's Life Partner Starr Porter, brother-in-law William Kirsch, sisters-in-law Delores Kirsch & Mary Kirsch, as well as other nieces, nephews, and many friends.
Honoring Bill's wishes, there will not be a public funeral. An intimate Celebration of Life is being planned. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in Bill's memory to Shriners Hospital for Children: https://LoveToTheRescue.org
Rest in Peace. You will be Dearly Missed by So Many.

Dad, I miss you so much. You weren't supposed to leave us yet. Mom, Eric and I are still in shock. It's been a roller coaster of emotions. You were our everything and always will be. I've always been so proud to be your daughter. Everything I am is because of you. I hope to be at peace someday, with your passing, but I don't see how. Love, Lois (your favorite daughter).
