Walter G. Brakey Jr.

Glenn was my elderly mother's neighbor in South Hadley for many years. He was a kind and gentle person. Glenn kept a watchful eye on her & the house as she got on in years.
We are sorry to hear of his passing, and extend our condolences to all his friends and family.
Sincerely,
Kathryn Rudy & Maryanne Elias

I was blessed to have Glennie as my "Paton" 2nd cousin. He and I shared the same great grandparents, Peter Paton and Elizabeth MacLeod (McKenzie) Paton, who immigrated from Scotland and settled in Holyoke. They were his father's mother's parents. It was an honor and privilege to have known him. We Paton cousins particularly loved seeing him at Paton family reunions, and we knew he loved seeing all of us as well. He attended as many reunions as possible, and we all have fond and wonderful...

Walter was a good man. I knew Walt through his best friend and fishing partner Richard Steinbock (now departed). They were both into fishing Quabbin Reservoir as did I. We got to know each other through a Forum named MaAnglers. Both Rich and Walt were good contributors to the forum with pictures and stories. I considered them as my friends. Rest in Peace Walter. I hope you and Cresty have a Quabbin to fish together in heaven.

I was always sorry I didn’t meet him earlier, but looked forward to seeing him at cousins reunions
