Thinking about Glenn and how big his personality was back in high school and junior high. I never had a class with him but I felt like everyone knew Glenn (I feel like it was Glenn's mission to know everyone! And to feel like his friend.) You will not be forgotten, Glenn.

Glen,

Although we never met and I only had the chance to learn about your story in the years after 9/11, I'm struck by how similar our stories leading to the job were. I'm a former reporter, photographer, & volunteer firefighter turned Police Officer who works to create videos for the department, just like you were. As I write this I too have four years on the job, the same you did on 9/11. Knowing just how similar our stories are really struck me. If I were in your shoes I would have followed the story right into the towers like you did, camera in hand, looking for that perfect shot. I've been thinking about you & your story for days now and I hope you rest in peace brother. Your memory lives on and will never be forgotten.

I cannot say enough or offer enough tears or emotions for the numerous, numerous amazing men and women who gave so selflessly and heroically that day and for still many, the numerous days that followed over the numerous years to come. On this 19th anniversary of one of the deadliest days for American law enforcement I'd like to say to you all thank you, God Bless you and rest in peace always knowing that your service and sacrifice will never, ever be forgotten by your law enforcement brethren.

Two things I can recall concerning Glen in my Earth Science class at Ronkonkoma Junior High School - his effort to do well and his smile.

God Bless.

Glens family and mine grew up a few houses away from each other so I can say I knew Glen from when he was a little kid I hang out with his older brother Tommy and I can remember being in front of his house on a summer night he always wanted to be outside with all of us even though he was much younger than us. He was always a good kid and grew into a great man.When he was taken on that day like all the others it changed the world as we all knew it.I will always remember him and his family.

I worked at Sayville Middle School and Tara, Glenn's sister was a teacher there. I came to know Tara and my children had met Glenn and spoke of his kindness. After his loss on 9/11 I purchased a memorial T-shirt with his police badge. I also had the honor of attending his memorial service in Ronkonkoma. His memory lingers on as I show his prayer card and wear his shirt when our school remembers what we call "First Responders Day". I tell of his sacrifice and we often discuss what being a "hero" is. Needless to say they are fasinated and in awe of Glenn. I wanted to let his family know that his dedication to his job and the ultimate sacrifice continue to "make a difference" even all the way down here in Cypress, Texas. His memory and legacy will continue as long as I teach school and discuss freedom and the price some, like Glenn, are willing to pay. God Bless his family and friends today and everyday!

I knew Glen in highschool and only found out today about his death. I cried when I read the article in todays paper about his mother and families efforts to remember him. But I smile when I think of all the fun I had with him. Thank you for your bravery.
