Glenn J. AMES

We are very shocked about the passing of Dr. Ames. I enjoyed talking to him at Gesu events, as he loved his children so much and took time to be there for them all the time. My son recently said "I feel so bad for Miranda and Ethan to lose their dad" and nobody knows the right thing to say when something like this happens, but my son knew. Rest in peace and God be with you from the "Gesu" crowd.

Dear Ames family members,

This morning came the shocking news of Glenn's death. We are so sorry, and send you our sympathy. He was my (Ron) friend and colleague....also an excellent scholar and enjoyable to talk with. Among my lighter memories are the NCAA basketball guessing games that he conducted each spring.
Peace and blessings to all of you at this time of Glenn's passing.

will miss Dr. Ames very much. He was such a wonderful teacher, historian and mentor to me throughout the past eight years and to so many other graduate and undergraduate students. His family and friends are in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for being part of our lives Glenn. Our department, our community, will never be the same without your presence, light, and humor.

Dr. Ames taught the first graduate seminar of my graduate career, and as fate would have it I am blessed to have taken his last class over the summer. Always knowledgeable, challenging yet helpful and above all equipped with an amazing sense of humor, Dr. Ames is an indescribable loss to the U of Toledo history family. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, wishing Ethan and Miranda strength in this unbelievably difficult time. You will be missed.
Descanse em Paz,

Professor Ames was a great scholar and teacher who I admired. I will miss working with him very much. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

My "home" for three years was right down the hall from Glenn's office. There wasn't a day he passed my door without stopping in with a warm hello, some mention of his love for his children, and some bragging on the Red Sox. He led me to professional opportunities I would not have found on my own and he supported me every step of the way. He was a wonderful man who will never be forgotten by those whose lives he touched.

It was a blessing to have him as a professor. He was nice, funny and he really cared about his students. I was shocked when I found out this morning and Im a really miss seeing you around and Im a miss hearing your funny stories god bless you Professor Ames love always Brandon B.

Glenn was a fine historian and colleague. I have wonderful memories of visiting historic sites with him in Goa, India, and trading archive stories with him in Panjim. I'm grateful to have known and learned from him. My thoughts are with Miranda, Ethan and the rest of his family.
