Glen Orrin Richardson

November 5, 1957 - July 29, 2005

Glen battled with cancer many years ago and was required, because of life's always ironic and sometimes cruel humor, to face it again (starting three years or so ago - one month after he was remarried). Exactly twenty days before he died Glen signed off an email to me with, "Love and peace to you, too, Glen." I can't envisage a better elegy for him, so:

Love and Peace to You, Glen.

I'll miss you, you towering Basso Profundo (furthermore, such a "profound" bass in myriad ways). I am so gratified that you left this life with the love, peace and support you most richly deserved.

Here are Glen's Obituary and his last words.

Hi there, I'm not sure if you'll see this or not, I just thought I'd drop a note. I was doing some random browsing here on the internet and got this odd urge to Google my grandmother's name, which strangely led me to finding you have Glen's obituary on your blog. Glen just so happens to be my uncle, found that pretty cool. So.. just thought I'd say something. Buh bye now.
