Glenn Allen Scott

GLENN WAS FROM STEADFAST FRIEND SINCE 1950 WHEN WE MET AS YOUNG WRITERS IN GREENSBORO AT AN ART FESTIVAL. HE WAS NOT ONLY A FINE EDITORIAL WRITER, BUT THE AUTHOR OF A VERY GOOD FIRST NOVEL. HE WAS A COURTLY GENTLEMAN WITH A LUST FOR LIFE.

What a good fate, to take his last breath in front of the place where his heart and intellect had served his fellow man so well for half his life. I had just written a scene in my memoir, MY INTELLECTUAL LIFE IN THE ARMY , where Glenn suddenly appeared in my off-post garage room in fatigues with a copy of his novel, A SOUND OF VOICE DYING, having tracked me down. I stopped to try to track him down, having lost his address, to ask his written permission to quote his letters to me, even...

Glenn and I started at Washington and Lee University on the same day, roomed together for two years, and then began a lifelong friendship which lasted for 66 years. His wit, humor, good will, and generous spirit nourished me repeatedly.
We were there for each other in major events--marriages, birth of kids, many fun social get-togethers in both Norfolk and DC areas.
His passing leaves a real void. I miss him, but his wonderful qualities reach out into the universe and will be...

To Glenn's Family: He touched many lives throughout his life including his last years. Our church and in fact Norfolk will not be the same without him. What an honor to have known him even in a small way.

Dear Colin, Tyler, and Jonathan:
Our heartfelt prayers are with you during this time of mourning. May all your wonderful memories sustain you in this journey filling your minds with joyful memories.
Erica and Ben

What a wonderful, thoughtful, intelligent and caring man. Norfolk, the Virginian Pilot, the Naval Reserves and the arts are so much better for having Glenn being a part of each. My condolences to his family.
