  4. I was in the emergency room at St. Charles on Sunday when your dad was brought in, i was there to see I think all four of you there.

  7. Glen Full of life,ambition and energyA brother to me. I miss you desperately!!Love you my brother. Rest in peace. I got this, no worries!!

  8. I am sorry for your loss, words cannot express the feelings we have when we lose those we love. Please take comfort in knowing that God is the creator of life. The bible calls God the source of life(Psalm 36:9;Acts 17:24,25) The one who gave life certainly is capable of restoring life to someone who has died. The bible reports eight instances of humans who were brought back to life on earth. God has promised to end death forever and to reunite us with our loved ones. (Rev.21:4)Be comforted by your family your good memories during this difficult time. Remember it is impossible for God to lie, what he has promised will happen soon.

  9. What can anyone say when someone you’ve known for so long is suddenly gone. Glen was an incredibly strong man who came from nothing & always rose above the odds. We all know his success in business but his proudest and most cherished success were his children. I was always blown away by how natural it was for him to be a father. His children all turned out to be good & exceptional people. I cherish all the memories we shared from childhood to adulthood. There were times when we laughed for hours & hours nonstop. I still laugh when I think of those times. Those memories are priceless. We always liked the same things. We were like brothers from the day we met. Glen did in 48 years what it takes most men a lifetime to achieve. May God rest Glens soul and protect him forever and may God bless his children and help them through their time of mourning & grief. May God also bless Kenny & Jeff. Thanks for the great times & memories Glen. RIP.

  14. Glen, if you are watching then you will know how heart-broken our family is over the devastating event on December 20th, 2015. I know you since your were 26 years old, more than 22 years ago, just starting out, bold, self-assured but very respectful and polite. I knew then that a star would be rising on Long Island. We are so proud of what you achieved and know how much your family meant to you. Thank you for your generosity, especially to the commercial real estate brokerage community. There is no one in the industry that can top your Christmas parties nor can they top your generous gift giving every year. The one thing I know is that it brought joy to your heart to be in the financial position to give. You will be sorely missed.

  15. Glen,Your death has killed me, but your life inspired me. What a ride it was,just knowing the giant personality that you were. Your vision,strengths and passion were like no other. You achieved more than 20 men in your short time on this earth. Personally, my word dimmed,just knowing your no longer here among us. I look forward to seeing your big smile again someday.

  16. Glen, you have accomplished so much in your short life and you did it with dignity, respect and strong sense of ethics. Your ability to see a vision and overcome great challenges to realize your goals is a testament to your business acumen and determination. You were admired by so many and will be greatly missed. The pride and love that you have expressed to me about your family and company will help them through this difficult time. I am sure they will all work tirelessly to continue your legacy. Rest in peace my friend.

  17. I was so sorry to learn of Glen’s passing. My heart goes out to his children, his loved ones, and everyone he touched. In the short time I knew Glen, I found him to be a real force of nature, larger than life. His story of turning nothing into a thriving, successful business empire is truly inspiring and a testament to his smarts, will and determination. He was strong and tough, but he was also fair and compassionate. The thing I took most from my time with him was that he was a terrific father to his children and he loved them dearly. Glen will live on through them. He will be sorely missed. God Bless the Nelson Family.

  18. I was so sorry to learn of Glen’s passing. My heartfelt condolences go out to his children, loved ones and everyone he touched personally and professionally. Glen was a real force of nature and larger than life. His story of turning nothing into a thriving, successful business empire is truly inspiring and a testament to his smarts, will and determination. He was strong and tough but still fair and compassionate. The thing I took away most from the short time I knew him was that he was a terrific father to his children and loved them dearly. Glen will live on through them. He will be sorely missed. God Bless the Nelson Family.

  19. Tommy and I reflect on Glens life everyday since the tradgic accident…we are heartbroken and still remain in shock..We think of his children and family everyday…and we pray for them and their peace of mind….in such a time of deep sorrow…We will never forget Glen…not in our lifetime…He came to us many years ago as a customer…and over the last 12 years became a friend to us…we grew to love him and all his crazy ways…running.. he was forever running!! (and having us run with him!)We will miss his huge presence…and huge it was! We do not think in our lifetime we will have the pleasure again to know someone as impressive as Glen was…we were in awe of his business mind…He always thought so ‘big’ and we were a Mom and Pop business…many a debate between him and I about should I think bigger? And me saying I don’t want to think bigger…I would tell him his life was way to crazy for me! And we would laugh! Whenever we talked on the phone he and I would share a laugh…I will miss that most of all…he had quite the infectious belly laugh…I know he left all his loved ones way to early…but Tom and I will be forever grateful for having him for the years we did…we can only hope now that our friend is at peace…no more running to meetings to be done…His life was fast and short…but so much meaning was put in the years he was here…May his light shine on forever to those that love him..

  20. I am deeply saddened by the news of Glen’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

  21. I am very saddened by your passing, its all just not fair. You were taken to soon, but I know in my heart that you lived this life to the fullest! Your family is in my thoughts and prayer.
