Gary Glass Obituary
Gary Allan Glass passed away peacefully in his Atlanta home on the morning of December 12, 2024. Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on February 27, 1942, he spent his childhood in Cleveland, Ohio, and moved to Atlanta, where he spent most of his professional life working for the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, where he retired as Chief Financial Officer in 2004. He is survived by Phyllis, his wife of 56 years; his two children, Darren and Jessica; his grandson, Elliott; his son-in-law, Rogerio; and his dog, Lucy. A diehard Ohio State Buckeye fan, he loved traveling all over the world with Phyllis, sharing recipes with Jessica, talking about the Braves with Darren, and going on walks with his dogs, who were probably his real favorites. He will be missed for many things, including his kindness, his generosity, and his smart sense of humor. In lieu of flowers, donations in his memory can be made to the Lifeline Animal Project (www.lifelineanimal.org). Arrangements by Dressler's Jewish Funeral Care, 770-451-4999.

Sorry to here about the passing of Gary, we were best friends during our grade school and junior high school days in Milwaukee. Gary and I stayed in contact up into our early twenties. We would get together in the summer time, when his family would come to Milwaukee to visit his grandmother, or I on a few occasions went to Bay Village. The last time I saw Gary was in 1963, when I spent a weekend with him at Ohio State. I have a picture of Gary, his brother, and I taken Norre Dane football stadium, on our way to Bay Village Ohio, when the family moved Into their new house in 1954. If one of you would like that picture, send me your cell number, and I will text it to you. Again my condolences to you all.
