Rich Glaser was one of the most uplifting supportive forces to ever enter our lives. He was the sweetest soul and generous beyond all measure. Rich is one of the greatest mentors to ever support and lead my partner, and he always encouraged us to love each other and succeed. What a beautiful man. My sincerest condolences for the family.
