William E. Glenn

You made the world such a better place with your many inventions in the field of medical and television technology. You were a loving father to Doug and Ross and loving grandfather to your grandchildren Bonnie, Vaughn, and Topher and great grandchildren Alden, Carrigan, and Isla(who was born in 2023) . You live on in the many people who benefitted from your inventions and will always be loved and remembered.

I met Bill Glenn when I worked at the Heinrich-Hertz Institute in Berlin where he collaborated with our team (led by Gerhard Mahler) on light-valve projection displays. Dr. Glenn invited me to his lab in Florida and I enjoyed his great hospitality and friendship. Later I became an applied-physics professor at the newly established University of Potsdam in former East Germany. I will always fondly remember Bill Glenn as one of my most important mentors and senior colleagues. May he rest in peace

My dad was 26 years old when I was born and I was 26 years also when my first son was born. I've always been trying to follow in his footsteps but unfortunately this is much too hard a task for just about anybody !!

My dad was always a great story teller. He always told us a great bedtime story ...
I helped my dad as he built a catamaran sailboat in the basement of his house in Schenectady out of Styrofoam hulls enclosed with plywood and glass-cloth glued down with hand-mixed epoxy...

We had the pleasure of knowing Bill Glenn through Gulfstream Sailing Club. He was a great sportsman, competitor and a gentleman both on and off the water. Many GSC members have fond memories and photos of Bill behind the wheel on Talaria I & II. Our heartfelt sympathies to the Glenn family in this time of loss.

I knew Dr Glenn from sharing office and research space on the top floor of FAUs downtown campus for time. It was honor to talk shop with him in those days. He was very approachable and engaging in spite of his vast awards and accolades. I will always be grateful for the knowledge he shared along with friendly advice.
