Was born in Abington Memorial Hospital on October 1, 1954. At six weeks of age, he had an abdominal obstruction and was operated on at St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children. He recovered nicely and spent most of his younger years living in Rockledge, PA. He went to 1^st grade at Horsham Elementary, and 2^nd through 6^th at Rockledge Elementary. It was in sixth grade that he did his first interview for the school paper. The subject was Del Ennis, former Phillies outfielder and then owner of a local bowling lane business in Montgomery County.

During Glen’s younger years, he persevered with a very disagreeable father who gave him a hard time or ignored him completely. But there were others, including his mother, who loved and cared for him. He had a wonderful Grandmother and Grandfather, Uncles, Godparents (Alice and Ed Herbine), their two sons and a daughter (Karlene, the same age as Glen, and a good friend of Glen's).

Very early in his life, Glen’s teachers agreed that "Glen is an excellent student, however, he works slowly, day-dreams, and does not complete his work on time." (Quoted from an actual report card.) This seems to be the way he worked all of his life. He always felt "it" was not yet perfect – which was always his standard.

All through his time at Abington High School, he was an editor for the Abingtonian. Always daring to do something controversial, even at that young age, he wrote an article about the armed services and war. Almost immediately, a General from Texas demanded an apology from Glen and the School paper.

And, during that time as an editor, the editorial group was asked to speak on the publication code of ethics at Columbia University, and at the Pennsylvania Scholastic Press Association Convention. He accumulated many awards in High School and later, in college.

When Glen was 13, his parents divorced, and two years later his mother married Jim Stephany (who has been a good father/stepfather to Glen). Ironically, at their wedding, Jim’s son, Wayne, met Glen’s friend Karlene. And, two years after that, Wayne and Karlene got married. They now have two grown daughters and live in Lancaster, PA.

Glen attended Ohio State University, and majored in Journalism. He became editor of the college paper, and also worked for a local Columbus newspaper. During the summers he came home to Horsham, and wrote for the North Penn Reporter. After graduation, Glen wrote for many area publications. He worked at the Press of Atlantic City, and lived in Brigantine. He also spent time in New York City, and wrote for GQ and Rolling Stone in the 80’s. He then came back to Philadelphia and began a column in the Philadelphia Weekly magazine. In-between these jobs, he was always freelancing, mainly for Philadelphia Magazine. TV Guide, Travel Magazine, and many others that benefited from his writing. Each piece he did he labored over to make it his best.

Glen was a sports enthusiast. It showed in his writing about Joe Paterno, Charles Barkley, and as far back as Del Ennis. He watched the Flyers from their beginning, always went to the opening game of the season for the Phillies, saw as many Sixers games as he could, and followed football, especially the Eagles, Ohio State, and Penn State. The only sport he liked to play was tennis. Beating his stepfather "was lots of fun."

He loved his family and his many friends. He made it a point to keep in touch with all of his friends over the years.

Glen passed away suddenly on February 16, 2002. During Glen’s life he touched many people and will long be remembered.
