I took this portrait of Jeff a few months before he died. (He did all of the lightening of course! I just had to push the button!) He was a gifted photographer and he was the best technical director I ever worked with while in television news! Jeff had a kind heart and worked to be the best he could be no matter what it was. I'm not sure everybody appreciated that about him. I appreciated it Jeff. I'm glad to call you my friend.

To Cathy and family,
My deepest sympathy and prayers to you at this sad time. I knew Jeff during my high school days and then continued our friendship thru our holiday messages at Christmas time and on FaceBook. I always marveled at Jeff's ability to use his talents to the fullest. I am so saddened to have to bid him adios and I will miss him dearly. He definitely made the world a better place. Cathy, I send you lots of hugs and prayers. Hugs, Mary Nowel Quijano

My prayers for you Catherine and all of Jeff's family! Jeff was much more than just a colleague he was a good friend. I was fortunate enough to work with him at both channel 6 and at his photography business. I feel blessed to have called him my friend.

To the family of Jeff Glasser, I want to say how sorry I am for your loss. Jeff was a bright light and a joy to work with on a daily basis. I worked at WTVN/WSYX from 1984-1993 as a Director and then Production Supervisor. Jeff was very proud of his family and passionate about life. We were all blessed to have known Jeff. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
