Jack Glasser

I will miss Jack's smiling face every time I go to the dining hall at Kripalu. He was a warm, friendly man who made my time at Kripalu feel like I was home with family. He always made me feel like he was there just for me. He will be missed.

Jack and I became friends soon after he started working at Kripalu and I was there as a guest. I came yearly until a year ago---sometimes twice--and he and I would spend hours in conversation. I always laughed with him and adored him. He loved people and we all loved him. He truly was the real spirit of Kripalu. There will never be another Jack Glasser. I am blessed that I knew him and enjoyed his wonderful personality.
My deepest sympathy to all of his family.

Jack taught me and many others that a job is not just a job, but an opportunity to shine light into the days of everyone you meet. Thank you for this special gift, and I hope his family is held in love.

Jack put a smile on my face every day of my 5 years at Kripalu. He was a genuine person who always had the time for a word of kindness or a small joke. Even after I left Kripalu, any time I returned, I was greeted at the dining room door like I was long lost family. He has and will continue to be the example of selfless service - a true yogi.

We really loved Jack!!!! He made going to the dining hall at Kripalu a happy celebration! Wishing deep comfort to his family!

No matter how I was feeling, the moment I saw Jack (with a smile on his face) I felt happier and after talking to him, I felt like a movie star ... he just had that effect on people.

Jack was the face of Kripalu. Always had a smile and a hug for everyone. He will be missed. Debbie O

For years, my office was across from the Dining Hall at Kripalu. I so enjoyed my front row seat for Jack's daily interactions with staff and guests. He was a kind, funny, genuine man who brought a smile to so many faces throughout his years of service. His presence is greatly missed.
