Glenn was an an instructor of mine at the Naval Justice School a long time ago. We were the same rank but I always thought he was special. He had an air of competence about him and I never forgot him throughout my 36 years of service. I ended up transferring to the Air Force to complete my military career but he is one of the inspirational folks in my life. He will be remembered.

My belated condolences to Glenn's family. Glenn gave me the chance to work as a summer law student intern at World Bank, and he was a great mentor during that time.

So shocked and saddened to learn of Glenn's passing. He was a great friend and navy shipmate during a very dynamic period of our lives. I wish we had been able to stay better in touch. My deepest condolences to Leslie, Olivia, and Tanner. The world is emptier without Glenn around and he will be missed..

Glenn and I were classmates at the Naval Justice School, Newport, Rhode Island back in 1987. After that, we crossed paths a number of times during our years in the Navy. I was always impressed at how capable and bright he was. My deepest sympathies to Glenn's family.

I worked with Glenn out of Europe for many years and learned to respect his professionalism, commitment to the highest standards but above all his genuine friendship and sense of humour. He will be lost, to the profession, to his friends and to his family to whom I express my deep condolences.

How do I say goodbye to my brother who was taken from me way too soon. I don't! Instead I want to say thank you for the memories we shared, for all of those trips he made to Rhode Island to visit us and Gizzi ( that's what he called my husband). I will truly miss you and find comfort in knowing you are looking down on me with Dad. Love you!!

My prayers are with all of you, especially at this time. I am so sorry to hear about Glenn. I know it has been a long time since I have seen the family but remember Glenn stopping in Carolyn's room to tease us as we acted like crazy teenage girls. God bless and hold onto your beautiful memories. Love Sheri (Arszulowicz) Couturier.

Glenn, you were one in a million and will truly be missed. Your life was cut way too short. You certainly lived life to it's fullest. We shared many memories in Grand Rapids and in the visit to Washington DC. Your Cousin, Gary Radulski
