i loved my uncle scotty more then i probley ever told him. there is not a day that goes by that i dont think about or miss him. My uncle really made a name for himself and i hope to be half the person he was. everyone knew scotty and though at times its annoying i love answering "yes" when someone asks if im related to "the scotty glacken". he has encouraged me to be a better person and athlete just by being a part of my life. everytime i step on the feild with that # 17 jersey i feel compeled to succeed because scotty would expect nothing less. uncle scotty had a funny way of showing us he cared but we all know he loved us deeply. my favorite memories of scotty have to be summers on kent island with him and the rest of the glackens and of course christmas tree hunting for the biggest most obnoxious christmas tree there was. capt. pudd will forever scare me and i still sleep with socks on because im terrified he will eat my toes in the middle of the night. uncle scotty is the reason for my love of the broncos and my hate for duke, i always loved braging to him when maryland or unc beat the dreaded blue devils. i think everyone can agree with me that scotty will be missed but his memories will never be forgotten. Scotty wouldnt want us to be sad he would probably tell us to stop being sissys, strap an advil to it and get back in the game.
i love you aunt margret, stacey, kk, bridgey and the rest of my family.
<3 always, the brat.

Margaret, Stacey, Kirsten, & Bridget,
I was so very sorry to hear about Scotty. I always thought of him as one of my favorite uncles. I think of him often on crisp fall days when memories of Georgetown flood my mind or when I am on the Chesapeake and think of all our fun times crabbing. I am so happy that my husband Ed got to meet him and that we got to see him at the Georgetown reunion last year. He always made me laugh and gave the best bear hugs.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love, Desma

To Bill Glacken and the Glacken family my deepest and heartfelt sympathy on the passing of Scotty. After watching him play in the City Championship game of 1961 at D.C. Stadium, I decided that I wanted to attend St.John's. Eventhough I played end, I wore # 17 my next two years during my CYO playing days. Many years later, as I served as an officer on the CYO Executive Board I often get a chance to speak to Scotty at the annual Board Dinner. He was one of my first "local" heroes and along with Coley O'Brien and Mike Kruzek was one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play for the Johnnies. Thank you for sharing him with all of us who looked up to him.

My memory carries me back several decades when the Glacken family and I were neighbors. Scott and Margaret accepted me into their home with such warmth and openess that the experience still touches me today. I most recall Scotts enthusiasm for life and good humor which he abundantly shared with great gusto.

It's been many years since the wonderful Fourth of July picnics in Bethesda with the Glackens, the Rudys and the Pattersons, but I will always remember Scotty leading the group in games that involved ice down the back, or -- yes -- a football. Many fond memories of a great guy. Please know that the thoughts and prayers of so many of us will be with you in the coming days.

Very sorry to hear Scotty's passing. I knew him as a kid. We got our first dog from him, Butch. He dated my sister, Claudia (Sunny) and I have great memories of him coming over to the house in his blue convertible sportscar. He was always so nice to my younger brother and me. Very sad

Dear Margaret, Stacey, Kirsten and Bridget,
I cannot tell you how heartbroken I was to hear of Coach Glacken's death. He is such a big part of my childhood memories ... always looking forward to seeing him (and all of you) at Georgetown games or Kent Island for crabs. Whenever I talk of him I always describe him as "like an uncle to us." He had such a special uplifting and no-nonsense way that gently commanded respect and admiration. I'm so sorry that I won't see him again ... we all are. But I am so glad that we got to spend time with him at the "Glacken Era Reunion + Endowment Kickoff" weekend last year. My husband and son got to meet him and, of course, he made us all laugh all weekend. He will be greatly missed. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love, Stasia (and Jim & Noah)

Glacken Family,
I had the privilege of playing for Coach Glacken while at Georgetown(76-79 teams) and remember him as good humored and patient, quite remarkable considering the characters that he had to deal with on a walk-on team.
Once when Coach and some of his assistant buddies(Jenkins and Calabrese) were having a drink at the Public House after one of our less than stellar performances, he bought a round for me and my girlfriend(now my lovely wife). It remains one of the fondest memories of my football days because it was so unexpected and demonstrated the friendship that existed between the players and the coaches of that era.
I wish to thank your family for allowing him to share time with us.

Dear Margaret and Family,
We are grieved to hear about the passing of Scotty. It came to us as a shock. During the years Scotty and I worked together in Europe, we spend wonderful times in visiting countries and clients. We had quite a lot of fun and laughs. And when he started to call me "Joopster" I really felt a friend of him. Those laughs will always be a remembrance of Scotty for me and Ria.
Margareth, our thoughts are with you and your family.

My heart goes out to you and your family. It was difficult to hear of Scotty's passing but I know that he is in a better place. It was a privilege to have met him and work for him. There was never a day we didn't laugh. I always admired Scott for being such a loving husband and great father. He always treated me like one of his daughters and had my best interest at heart. May God give you and your family the strentgh to move forward. May his humor stay alive in your hearts. Stay strong for him, you know he wouldn't want it any other way.
With my deepest sympathy.

Margaret,
My deepest sympathies to you and your family for your loss. Coach Glacken loved the Hilltop and the program that he helped revitalize and most especially, the generation of kids who played for Georgetown duing his two decades as head coach. He was always as interested in how we were doing off the field as we did on it which is the true mark of his dedication and his lasting legacy. I hope you take comfort in the knowledge that there are hundreds of us out there from the football program that are better off because we knew him.
May he rest in peace.
With my deepest sympathies,

To The Glacken Family;From his first days of JV football at St.Johns Scotty's affable personality belied his competitive spirit and extrordinary athletic ability.He threw "the most catchable ball" and I still managed to drop more than my share.While I've always thought of Scotty as my quarterback,what he really excelled at are the things that matter most,as a teacher,a coach,a loving husband and father.I know he is taking the ribbing of his new teamates in stride and preparing to excell at the next level.With fond memories,our prayers and condolences to the Glacken family.Tim and Kathleen Daly

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Glacken family. I tried to emulate Scotty as a CYO quarterback while he was at St.Johns. I admired him from afar throughout his career. It was a huge honor for me to go into the St.John's Hall of Fame in the same class as Scotty. Everybody has a hero.....and Scotty was mine!

My condolences and deepest sympathies to all of you. He touched many lives.

I coached soccer at Georgetown for 22 years. My first 6 were Scotty's final 6 on the Hilltop. His dedication to his players, staff and the program made an impression on a young coach. I was so pleased to be at his induction into Georgetown's Athletic Hall of fame.
He touched many student-athletes.
Rest in Peace.

To Margaret and the Glacken Family,
I too had the privilege of being Scotty’s fraternity brother
and team mate. Yet, arriving at Duke several years earlier,
though we shared common experiences and friendships, others
were closer. Yet, how well I recall -- as yesterday -- Scotty’s
irrepressible spirit and uncommon friendliness. For Scotty
we all were “hail fellows, well met.” Now reading others’
recollections of Scotty, of the man he became, the following
verse seems apt.
"Chisel in hand stood a sculptor boy
With his marble block before him,
And his eyes lit up with a smile of joy,
As an angel-dream passed o’er him.
He carved the dream on that shapeless stone,
With many a sharp incision;
With heaven’s own light the sculpture shown, --
He’d caught that angel vision.
Children of life are we, as we stand
With our lives uncarved before us,
Waiting the hour when, at God’s command,
Our life-dream shall pass o’er us.
If we carve it then on the yielding stone,
With many a sharp incision,
Its heavenly beauty shall be our own, --
Our lives, that angel-vision."

Coach,
It saddens me to know the world has lost a truly generous and caring soul; a man who worked so diligently throughout his life to shape and mold young men into responsible and successful adults. You provided me the opportunity to attend a great institution of higher learning. While my knees failed me before I could fulfill my promise, the education I was able to receive never has...I have you to thank for that.
My prayers and blessings to you and your family.

Dear Margaret,
We were very saddened to receive the news about Scotty. As my head coach for four years, Scotty had a big influence on me as a football player. However, there were other things away from the sport about Scotty that registered a more profound impact on me. Scotty represented my first day-to-day exposure to a non-familial true professional, a person with certain indelible standards (whether dress code or interpersonal ethics), and as such a role model I could relate to and emulate. Scotty the consummate professional, the person who not only knew the plays but whose self assuredness gave us an overall sense of what and who we could be, helped us play the game, but he also showed us how to grow up.
My very sincere condolences and fondest regards to you and your family.

Very few people have the rare combination of humility, exuberance, kindness, and generosity that Scotty possessed. He made all those around him better and happier. While the world is a lesser place without him I believe that we are all better for having known him...And he met his perfect match in Margaret, I can only hope my marriage is as bountiful as theirs.
I'll miss Scotty very, very much - Almost as much as my father who holds him in the highest esteem.

Dear Margaret and Family:
After all the years have passed since we first met in 1968, I am hard pressed to find a man who loved life to a greater degree. More importantly, that was surpassed by Scotty's love and appreciation for you, your daughters and the entire family. I hope that his commitment, as well as the pride and joy he derived from everything you had done together, lives on to help sustain you during this most difficult of times. Our children are glad they had a chance to know "Uncle Scotty." I echo the sentiments of my friend and teammate John Dwyer. I was fortunate to have been a player/workmate/friend for over 38 years. Our prayers are with you. Respectfully, the Goracy Family.

If Scotty lived over 400 years ago, Shakespeare would have thought of him when he penned the phrase "Oh you noble band of brothers". Scotty was that and more. I last saw him recently at his sister's birthday party. I said that the sweater he was wearing looked like it came off a cheap horse at Charlstown WV. He laughed and laughed. Scotty was so secure about himself, nothing made him laugh more than someone making fun of him. To his wife, daughters and grandchildren my prayers are with you all.

Dear
Margaret and Family,
I was very saddened when I learned of Scotty's death from my brother
last night.
It has been many years since Scotty and I played baseball together at Washington Gaslight. It was Scotty who informed me when our coach Harry (Jake the Snake) Marshall died. We had a great team and had wonderful baseball years together. While I
went to Maryland for baseball, I watched with great admiration his years at Duke.
I wish you and your family well in the coming days. My prayers will be with you during this difficult time.

Everytime I ever saw Scotty he had the most precious smile on his face. When he walked into a room, the room lit up.
I remember so many gatherings in the past where my Dad, Pop (Harry Jr.) and Scotty would just carry on, they had such fun and laughter together.
Please know my prayers and thoughts are with you and may God be at your side always.

A great quarterback, a great teammate, and a great friend.
Sonny Odom
December 30, 2006
Scotty was my teammate -- and he was a great one! Every ounce of his energy went into every play in football and into every pitch in baseball. We first met on the Ellipse by the White House when it was home to two baseball fields; I had just finished my freshman year at Duke and had heard of this great quarterback who had signed with us for the next Fall. Scotty was playing catcher for our opponent that day -- little did I realize that a short conversation welcoming him to being a Blue Devil would lead to a 44 year friendship.
At Duke we played football and baseball together and we were fraternity brothers, and to my great enjoyment, I believe we were "buddies."
We all should live life to its fullest -- I believe Scotty did so more than any person I ever met. I loved the guy.
Strength and love and peace to Margaret and all of Scotty's family.
