John was a terrific, caring, kind, compassionate, and authentic man, doctor, and friend. He was always a pleasure to work with because he cared so deeply for his patients and was an exceptional surgeon. John brought joy to every one he came in contact with and is a wonderful example what a doctor can be. As you can probably tell, he made a huge difference in my life and I am forever grateful and blessed to have known such an incredible man. My thoughts and prayers are with you now and always. I pray for comfort and peace for you all at this difficult time. Sincerely, Dana

My Aunt Marinetta worked at South Community with Dr.Glomset and that is how I came to know him. He was the only doctor that would take my tonsils out and I haven't had strep throat since and that was about 10 years ago. Thank you for being a truly wonderful person. May God greet you with his arms wide open.

I worked with John in the OR as a medical sales rep for several years. I got to know him very well from the hundreds of surgical cases we did together. He was an outstanding surgeon and more than that a caring and compassionate man. God bless John.
