THE WALL OF FACES

A few years older than Glenn....I met him in 1957 when I had just moved to North Newark...He was one happy, friendly. intelligent kid whom I had the pleasure of knowing.. for 4 years...hanging out on Mt. Prospect Ave with 'the kids'.........After high school, ..I joined the Army ..did Basic and AIT in Ft. Dix.. and was stationed in Germany.. I had lost contact with him..and when my enlistment ended, I returned home and learned he had joined the Army..He was the kind of person you always think of when you think back about the 'good ole days' of your youth... I was utterly shocked and devastated to learn he had been killed in Vietnam....May God Bless his Soul, Honor His service to our country and may he Rest in Peace.....Forever..

My friend I have been looking for you for years. I have just found this site to reach out to you. I have so many fond memories of us at Campbell. I just digitized my home movies and one of my favorites was you with Linda and me at Christmas at our apartment. You were crazy as ever and I get choked up every time I watch it. Linda and I had 55 years together before ALS took her from me. I am so proud of your service and to have counted on you and called you my friend. Rest in peace my brother. You will never be forgotten as long as I live.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from Melodie Parrish is especially touching. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us...

I met Glen on my first day at Campbell; he helped me register for my classes. We began talking and then began dating. We talked about marriage before he left for the army; I wanted to wait for him to return from his tour. He was a good hearted man & I think of him to this day. Such a great loss...as were all of our young men.

I remember...the smile...the laughter...the tears...the classmate (B.H.S.)...the friend...the soldier...
Always, I remember Glenn.
