I remember Glen Gordon at the anniversary of his passing with great affection for his humanity. As beautiful man who lived a beautiful life and created a beautiful family carrying a piece of him into the future. Peace and healing to his beautiful wife and daughters. Glen, you did real good, a true brother. Soar on high as your journey continues; I know you will always be close to your family who love you without end.

I met Glen Gordon when i worked as a secretary in the Provost Office, and we all loved him. He was a joyful, easygoing person who loved sharing stories, which is how we learned about how he met his wife in grad school. I was glad to bump into him at the Valley Medical lab and he remembered my name and initiated small talk. I made sure to tell him how we loved him, in so many words. The world is a better place because Glen Gordon came through here. Glen, thank you for being such a kind and...

I am a 1976 political science graduate of UMass Amherst. While there I was a student of Professor Gordon. He was well-regarded and I learned much from him and the other professors in the Political Science Department. My positive academic experience at UMass Amherst led me later to law school and a very rewarding career as a Navy judge advocate. I remain very appreciative of Professor Gordon and other UMass Amherst faculty members giving me the solid foundation for professional and personal...

Glen was one of the loveliest people I have known--one who the whole Stein family thought the world of. He was so proud of his family. And we always enjoyed seeing him in the Valley Light Opera productions. He enjoyed it so much, and it showed. We are all so sorry for your loss.

Amado Tío;
Tu ausencia duele, pero las memorias Dan calor a mi corazón.
Te amo

I first met Glen Gordon in 1965 as a freshman student in the Government Department @ UMass. Throughout my 4 undergraduate years, Glen was always an amazing person: personal, thoughtful, insightful, warm-hearted, caring, attentive, enjoyable, a genuine reliability, a real presence, and a real pleasure to engage. When I directly reconnected with Glen as graduate student at UMass for a period of time in the 1980s, all the same characteristics described above remained in full force. I am very...

Glen was a lovely man that I had the pleasure to know.
May the love of friends and family carry you all through your grief.

Tio Glen had a wonderfully wry sense of humor. Although we did not see one another very often through the years, I always enjoyed my conversations with him. All through the years, he made me feel so very welcome. All my love to you, Nellie. All my love to the family. Victoria

Tío te amo estas en el corazón de mi familia
