I knew Glenn from Palliative Care. Talking to him on the phone and seeing him in the office always brightened my day. He always asked how I was. He was such a bright light that I knew for a short time and will always remember sweet Glenn!

Memories of Glenn Earl Lustik.
I am Aunt Lydia, Glenn is my nephew. I remember when he was born April 16, 1969. Leonard, his father, was so grateful that Glenn decided to make his appearance the day after the income tax session was over.
He was a cute little peanut.
I was the only woman in the room when the Rabbi performed his bris the rest were all male relatives. I think that was because I was to be his Godmother, a great honor. He also had a naming ceremony. Len had always wanted to be named Glenn. So he name his son Glenn Earl, a manly name of course.
He was an adorable little boy. He and his Mother Ellen had a special bond. When he was out playing with his little friends down the street she would send him a strong mental message. "Come home now!" And Glenn would run home and ask her what she wanted. Kids didn't carry cell phones back then.
When he was in his mid-teens personal computers became available. His parents bought him one.
He became engrossed in the computer-spending hours and hours learning the ins and outs. He learned to design web sites and had a clients who paid well for his talents and creativity.
Glenn was a genius in many areas. As he matured, he did extreme sports, loved skiing,
and taught at some of the biggest ski resorts.
He loved to be out in nature, camping and hiking.
He especially loved Colorado. He would drive there when the weather got warm and return to NY State as it got cold. He made many good friends there. He went camping and stayed at hostels.
He became an excellent photographer. He had a drone which took pictures at high altitudes. The photos were exquisite.
When he move to Geneva, he became involved with Temple Beth El. He set up security cameras and would man them when they held services and functions.
He felt strongly that being Jewish you had to defend yourself. The Holocaust affected him greatly.
He was a complicated man, with many deep thoughts.
When he was diagnosed with Cancer he did everything he could to beat it. But he lost the battle. He was brave and made the most of the time he had left. He loved riding his motorcycle and he enjoyed spending time with his beloved cat. I will miss you, my nephew. We used to text almost every day, and I would try to keep his spirits up.
I know we will see you again and when that time comes we will dance with the angels.
I will not say goodbye,
I will say Bon Voyage
I love you
Your Aunt Lydia
