Not sure what to say?

Just came upon this news tonight. I was a student at Confederation College in Thunder Bay, Ontario from 1973 to 1975. Glenn was my instructor and quickly became a friend. Glenn worked so hard to get and give the best to his students. He was an amazing man with gift for movies and radio. He threw some of the most amazing after school parties at his apartment near the Fort William Gardens. They were legendary. He was kind, sincere and caring. I lost touch as most do and mourn his loss tonight....

Glenn was my instructor at Confederation College for 2 years around 1974. Graduated with my film “A Decent Burial” which the college uploaded to Vimeo. So many memories of Glenn, many by the students in those years. Judy Paul assisted on the course, who has posted here.
Glenn was the founding President of the Canadian Film Editors Guild. (CFE). Glenn could hustle. He stressed employment after graduation with a Film Advisory Board which consisted of working professionals in Toronto. It...

I just found out about Glenn's passing I meet Glenn in Edmonton and we shared many good times together with friends. I will raise a glass to you Glenn.

I always enjoyed working with Glenn, he taught me so much about the film business and I loved his sense of humour. You will be missed Glenn but your memory and teachings will live on.

There are many names and faces that have scrolled through our memories of people in the film business. Glen Ludlow is one that I remember as sort of a "mentor" to all of us - even to we that were a bit more advanced. I am quite happy to admit even that my memories of Glen, here in Edmonton, are memories of hi weathered, smiling, friendly demeanor - in a mainly social arena. He was always very eager to suggest extremely knowledgeable ways of solving our production problems or support and...

Glenn had a passion for film and our industry that few could match. He shared that passion with the many students who were lucky enough to have Glenn as a teacher and mentor. For those of us old enough to remember, he played a key role in the development of the Alberta Film Industry in the late 70's/early 80's. Glenn, you have touched so many over your lifetime .... you deserve a rest. Imagine you're working on a great script right now! Till we meet again.

We have just learned of out good friend Glenn's passing. We first met in Thunder Bay, Ontario at Confederation College where he started the film program. I was lucky enough to become an instructor in that program and enjoyed working with Glenn and the students. He made it fun and certainly interesting. We shall miss him greatly and toast him with a Ballantines.

DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE IN HEAVAN-- was my script that started war between us at SAIT. I was not an easy student, being the oldest in the class, and you were a challenging instructor. Well enjoy your trip in heavan alone till I show up to harass you again. Best. Jay Bajaj, Goa, India.

I agree, Glenn was a fun and creative instructor in the film department. I remember his anecdotes about working on the "Littlest Hobo" TV series.
