Rest Easy Chief

Eileen and Jim Hovan

September 18, 2025

We, along with everyone else from Teaneck Police Department, are heartbroken over losing Glenn. He died too young and in vain. He was a wonderful Chief of Police who was so loved by all his men. He loved in return. Our prayers go to Elaine, his Mom, and to his brothers and sisters. A nicer family will never be found. Our prayers especially go to his wife and children on this sad occasion.
Rest in peace our Brother. Your work on earth is done, and what a fine job you did. Please watch over your fellow officers and keep them safe. Say hi to your Dad and give him a hug from us.
