Age 51, of Southern Florida, passed away on December 31, 2016, in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. He also lived in Johnstown and Pittsburgh. He was born March 2, 1965, in Pittsburgh, the son of the late Daniel and Marcia Glosser. Nathaniel was a tireless advocate for economic and social justice among other progressive causes. He was an early member of Occupy Pittsburgh, a passionate volunteer for the Senator Bernie Sanders campaign for President, and a stalwart peace activist associated with the Thomas Merton Center for Peace and Justice. At the same time that he helped improve police accountability working with People Against Police Violence, he fought to prevent gun violence as an organizer with the Goods for Guns Program in Allegheny County, the Million Mom March, and by serving as the Director of the Rosenberg Institute for Peace and Justice and Pennsylvanians Against Handgun Violence. Nathaniel recently acquired a houseboat and planned to set sail for international waters at noon on January 20, 2017.
