It saddens me to hear of Glenn's passing. I know it's been quite a while since I've seen either of you, but I have such fond memories of both of you and think of you often.

May he rest in peace and may your fond and loving memories of him keep Glenn alive in your heart forever Jean.

I worked with Glenn for a brief time at Marcus Advertising over 30 years ago. I have not met a more virtuous person since then. I strive to be like him, but always fall short.

I am so sorry for your loss. I recently relocated back to the Cleveland and revisted the Rabbit Run Theatre where Glen directed me in "The Rainmaker". I have wonderful memories of that summer and of a very talented man. I was just thinking of Glen and decided to do a google search when I learned of his passing. Thanks for the memories Glen!

Dear Jean,
I will always cherish the time I worked with you and Glen in "The Diary of Ann Frank" at Cassidy Theatre more than thirty years ago. You taught me what true actors are--people who generously share their hearts and talent offstage as well as on stage. How lucky I am to have worked with both of you. My deepest sympathy, Lauren Persons

I've seldom met a kinder, gentler man who also happended to be a breath taking artist, all of his days. Always a warm smile, a gentle embrace and genuine interest in others. What a special man. xo to you Jean, family and friends.

The most amazing "Candy" and "Matthew Brady". So full of talent and human kindness. He was a truly kindred spirit. He will be missed. Love to you Jean, and his family and friends.

I was lucky enough to have worked on two shows with Glenn, Dog Eat Dog and The Domino Heart. He was one of the kindest people I knew and I will miss him greatly. My thoughts and prayers go out to Jean and the family. We have lost a great man to the theatre community, but Glenn, I know you are smiling down on all of us from up there.

You are a good man, Glenn Colerider.
Rest In Peace ... And keep a watchful eye on us as I know you will do.

Jeanne I know your faith, and you know this is an illusion, this life/death process. I know Glen is still with us. I miss him already, he was a light in our life of art and I loved him, and I love you Jeanne. Ellen Friedman

Jean, My heart goes out to you. I wish that I might have seen him once again, but that is not ours to decide. Of all the roles that Glenn played at Ensemble, I will never forget his Candy, in "OF MICE AND MEN" with my dog Brandy. Glen was the center o f calm, a loving and kind man, and his sharp dialect was clearly heard on the stage.
I am going to miss him terribly, and the stage is empty without him. Jean, from all of us, Ian, Celeste, Hank, and myself, our deepest sympathies to you lovely lady.

Dear Jean and Family,
I am so very sorry to hear of Glen's passing. I was fortunate to work with him with Kaiser Permanente and in the production of "The Kentucky Cycle". He was extremely talented and one of the nicest people I've ever met. I hope you remember me Jean, I am very sorry. God Bless.

My father, Edward Manheim, worked with your Dad for many, many years. He was one of the nicest men I have ever known and I will always cherish the radio spot that he and I did together. It was for Parmatown Mall and I played his son. I was probably 12-13 years old and it was such fun to record. I will miss him.

My thoughts and condolences go out to the family in large measure. I had the honor and the pleasure of working with Glenn at Dobama and Ensemble theatres, and he was so lovely, professional, warm, easy, and classy to work with. Glenn was a true gentleman, who had something nice to say every time I saw him, whether it be on the street, or during a rough tech week. I always loved to watch him onstage, and over the years, loved watching him adapt to different roles and different ages with grace and aplomb. We have lost a great one from our midst.

Jean, Tracy, Kyle and the extended family- I am so sorry. Glen was a wonderful Colleague of mine in many shows . I saw him on the stage, like most theatre goers in Cleveland, and always came away with a lighter heart and a sense that his generosity as a man and as an actor was transforming - making me feel glad of the theatre and glad of life.

I will miss him...and I will remember him often

My deep condolences for what must be a wrenching loss. My best to you all
