Gene Glazer

Gene Glazer, a former resident of Kendall Park and fellow-traveler politically, died earlier this week. His son Barry, a friend from college, said he continued the political fight until the end.

Here is a snippet of his e-mail to me:

He published his last letter to the editor last month and was planning on attending the National Veterans For Peace conference in St.Louis next week. He continued to write to local media expressing his concerns about the war in Iraq and a myriad of other social issues. He was certainly a man of conscience, of conviction, and most importantly of action. He passed peacefully in the company of family with an Impeach Bush/Cheney button on his hospital gown.

That certainly sounds like Gene. We need to keep up the good fight in his honor.

I’ll have a column in Thursday’s South Brunswick Post on Gene and I’ll try to pass along an obit and information on memorial services when I get it.
