Glen Reed Longhurst

In 1978 my wife of five months was baptized. Bishop Robert E. Taylor and his counselor, Reed Longhurst, attended the service. It was during a time when Reed was in Fort Collins as a Ph.D. candidate. I remember his towering frame and engulfing handshake, a gentle, welcoming man, age 34 at the time, and new to us as we merged into the gospel, the ward, and life.

What a fantastic human being Glen was, hope to be your neighbor up there.

I met Glen at the family history center while serving as a Family History Consultant. He was towering in stature and his knowledge of family history. He cared about his consultants and treated us all equally. I know he missed serving this past year as we all did. I will miss him. Gary Whittaker

So sorry to hear about the death of Elder Longhurst. We treasure our missionary memories with the Longhursts in Detroit. Elder Longhurst and Sister Longhurst were the closest in assignment to us. We identified with their struggles. And they identified with our struggles as well. We love you sister Longhurst and wish you the best.
Love to you, David and Ileen Coats

Jean and Family, life has a way of turning our paths into one not expected. I was sorry to hear of Reed's passing at this sad time. I have fond memories of growing up with Reed way back in elementary school. Then my parents moved away from Logan and I lost track until you both were at Utah State University. You all have made such a monumental contribution to mankind. Jean, I often think of you whenever I drive by your old family home. Best wishes now, as you move on with your lives. ...
