I knew Glenn from high school. We hadn't seen one another for years. Then one day I passed him on the sidewalk outside the counseling center in the shopping center behind Las Vegas pizza. He recognized me and called my name out loud. He was helping people new to sobriety. He understood their needs and genuinely offered of himself whatever he could to help them adjust to a new lifestyle.

I first met Glenn at a NAMI National Convention in Washington D.C. and I immediately learned by talking with him what an incredible person he was. An tireless advocate for persons(like myself) living with mental illness, he will greatly missed by everyone that had the privilege of knowing him. Rest in Peace, Glenn.

It's so awesome to hear and see all the lives that Glenn touched, and so comforting for my family and I to realize that he will be greatly missed by so many. RIP Glenn, I miss you but I know you're watching over us now, and that the smile has returned to your face, and to your heart. It was my pleasure to spend 47 years as your sister, and your memory will live on. Love always, Kathy Koons Parks.

Glenn will always be remembered by his gentle spirit and compassion towards others. Glenn was instrumental in providing support to my late brother, David. I will never forget my first encounter with Glenn and how he was so willing to help a stranger. Glenn also helped me in me in my learning of the mental health system. I will always be greatful to have know Glenn. My warmest condolescenses to his family.

Glen rode with me when we worked at NAMI PA in Harrisburg. I had the joy of watching him blossom into a leader who brought folks together to advocate for us all. I especially remember NAMI's voter registration program I Vote, I Count where he energized so many first time voters. I miss his joy at parties and big bear hugs. Karen Willimann, Chester County
