Many sincere condolences to Debbie, the Haas family and relatives. As a business friend, I knew Glenn from many years working together enhancing the waterways and overall ecosystems in Massachusetts. He was a mentor to me and many others in NEWEA. His legacy will carry on thru the examples he set and I shall fondly remember the camaraderie and professional demeanor he employed to accomplish many good things for our small portion of this blue planet. His contributions will not be forgotten. We shall see him again when our own journey reaches a new beginning ... until then I toast his life!
Ein prosit mein Herr!
