H. BRADFORD GLASSMAN

GLASSMAN HERBERT BRADFORD GLASSMAN "Brad" (Age 48) Of Alexandria, Virginia died of cancer on July 15, 2015. He was the devoted father of Jack and Sam and beloved husband of Jennifer (Helsel) Glassman. In addition to his wife and children, he is survived by his mother, Joyce, also of Alexandria; his brother, Bernard and wife, Zita of Bethesda, MD; his sister-in-law, Betty Glassman of Washington, DC, and numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins. He was preceded in death by his father, Herbert and brother, Stanley. Brad graduated from Brown University and the law school at the University of Virginia. He spent five years with the United States Department of Justice, serving as Counsel to the Deputy Attorney General, Special Assistant to the General Counsel of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, and a litigating attorney with the Civil Division's Office of Immigration Litigation. As Counsel to the Deputy Attorney General, Brad advised then-Attorney General Janet Reno and then-Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder in some of the Justice Department's most complex and sensitive matters, including the EliÁn GonzÁlez matter. After leaving the Department of Justice in 1999, he joined the law firm of Baach Robinson & Lewis (now Lewis Baach pllc) where he became a partner and practiced complex commercial litigation. He was a loving and caring husband, father and son, a wonderful friend and a valued colleague. He battled his aggressive cancer with optimism, rationality and good humor. He passed away far too young and his family, friends and colleagues will miss him always, but find solace in the wisdom and warmth that he brought to us all. A memorial gathering and celebration of Brad's life will be held on August 1, 2015, from noon to four o'clock at the Belle Haven Country Club, 6023 Fort Hunt Rd., Alexandria, VA 22307.
