Not sure what to say?

Dad, I sure do miss you. The anniversary of your death is near and it's always a tough time knowing I can't see you or speak with you. Love you always dad. Em

My deepest sympathies to the fine family of Guilford Glazer, in particular Emerson and Erika, whom I knew, and Diane, whom I did not personally know but about whom I often heard wonderful things. Mr. Glazer and Emerson had faith in me in bringing me into their Torrance, California organization years ago, a faith that was equally returned.

GG, as he was affectionately known in the company to many of us, lived an unusually full life. He was known as a foremost real estate visionary,...

My condolences to you and your family Diane. Guilford touched our lives forever, he and my father roomed together at GW and it was he who introduced my father to my mother. He and my dad remained friends and in touch throughout their very long lives, and I was happy to have long conversations with Guil in recent years, full of reminiscences. Best warm wishes, Amanda Jacobs, daughter of Ephraim Jacobs and Flora Gill Jacobs

Guilford will always hold a special place in our hearts. The help and support he gave our family can never be repaid. He was a kind and generous man. Sincere condolences to Diane and the rest of the Glazer family From Jim, Kim and Connor Chapkis

When I think of Guilford, I always smile as he was a dynamic "force of nature" with an idea a minute.....a rare and amazing individual who inspired me to strive harder and reach higher..... and I will always be grateful for his faith in me and his kindness to my mother. I was blessed to have worked with him for 33 years. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your lovely family.

How comforting to know that God is near to those who are broken at heart. (Isaiah 57:15) He can strengthen your family during this time.

So sad to hear about the passing of GG (as he was fondly known to me while working at Del Amo). My deepest sympathies to his family.

Gil was a wonderful, generous man and will be greatly missed. Condolences from your cousins, the Bachmans: Lee and Gil Bachman, and their children David, Jeff, Glenn, Carol, and Barbara.
