My thoughts and prayers are with the Glosenger Family. He was my mentor when I was a scout. He was always there giving inspiration to us kids and leading us in the right direction in life and thank him for lifting the moral when spirits were low. No other words to say but, "Thank You!" Allowing him to give of his time to inspire us to achieve the greatness to the common good and to others.

Carl was a wonderful person and I am so sorry to hear about his passing. When we were kids, he used to help my dad with so many things around our house like cleaning the pool and mowing the lawn. He was always helpful to everyone who needed a hand. I'm so sorry I won't be seeing him at our reunion. my prayers are with his family. Again I am so sorry.

Please accept my condolences and the condolences of the entire Polinski family on your loss.
Carl's death, I am sure you know, is also a huge loss to his SHS Class of '67 "family." Carl was, to many of us, the FULL PACKAGE: friendly, smart, funny, kind and an example of someone who truly cared about others, both at, and then beyond, Sayre High. His patriotism and dedication to the well being of others continued to serve as an example into his adulthood.
Many of us were very much looking forward to once again enjoying his company at our 50th Class Reunion. That event has been diminished with this very sad news. Please know that he will be remembered there fondly.
