Not sure what to say?

Only met Glenn once but with a lot of laughter. Glenn and Yvonne (my wife Robins sorority sister at BU) hosted us at their home years ago when Glenn and family ran the Memphis Stockyards Glenn invited us to see the stockyards and have lunch.

Fifty years ago, Camp Nebagamon, Throck cabin. Glenn is the middle of the second row, flanked by me (left) and my good friend John Seesel on the right. I also still keep up with Bill Glassman (first row center) and Michael Prussian (standing at left). Glenn was a real sparkplug both in the cabin, Lumberjack Village and CN as a whole. Fun guy who will be missed by all.

Glenn´s love for his family was big! Such a proud pops! We got to know Glenn when he would come to watch his granddaughter play tennis. He was Amelia´s biggest cheerleader, and he loved to watch Amelia play tennis with our daughter, Ella. He will be missed, but his memory will live forever.

A great loss! The memories of Glenn taking Elliot and Jonathan hunting are but a few but more importantly are those of his big heart, wonderful smile and love able nature . The memories and the hours we spent together when the kids were young and playing soccer, hunting, Elliot and Jonathan´s Bar Mitzvah, they last forever. So happy Jonathan will be there for Eliott and your family. My thoughts love and prayers are with you Yvonne and Eliott, Simone and family. Joanne

Glenn was a first cousin by my First marriage, but was always Included with the group. He was Bigger than life and will miss his Love, protection and his family What a dear of a man love and the most heartfelt sympathy to Yvonne and family.

How can I summarize the plethora of great stories that began with remember when me and Glenn... I will never stop missing his smile and his sense of humor, his passion for sports and his family. Such a wonderful man who can never be fully replaced.

Our condolences to you all. So very sorry for your loss. Glenn will be missed by so many. I will always remember his smile and laughter and his wonderful bear hugs. We have all of the Kiersky family in our thoughts and prayers. May God bless you and give you peace.
