I know this is late. Glenn and I were very close Freshman year of college at Rutgers. I was shocked to see his obituary as I was looking him up o-line. The workd lost a great guy and my I regret that we were nver able to reconnect over the years.

I was searching for some old friends on Facebook recently, and I thought I might look for one of my best friends from 6th and 7th grade, Glen. He and I shared so many laughs together. He was always impeccably dressed(unusual for a 6th grader!) and the girls LOVED him! I rode his coattails, and he didn’t seem to mind...he was big for his age, and even had that teen mustache goin’ for him. I looked up to him, literally and figuratively. My family moved after 7th grade, and I never spoke to glen again. I treasure our brief, wonderful friendship. Rest in piece, my friend.

My prayers and thoughts are with you at this very difficult time. Fondly, Yvonne

I only just heard of Glen's death. He and I knew each other professionally, and his loss at such a young age saddens me deeply. My heartfelt condolences.

My condolences to Glen's family. I remember him as a personable guy and an ace reporter while we shared time on the JCK staff. He will be missed by all who met him because he was the sort of person with whom you could just sit down and talk, enjoyably, whether about the job or anything else.

Dear Beres Family, I am very, very sad to hear about Glen. I knew him well, and worked with him often, at JCK magazine. He was a serious, focused, well-prepared, hard-working professional journalist, and a very good writer and editor. I admired him for his writing expertise and ability to always deliver a thoroughly-researched, informative, well-written article. He wrote for many publications besides JCK and was known and respected for his skill, reliability, and professionalism. He had a genial nature, was easy to talk to and had a wide smile, especially when he spoke about his family, which obviously meant a great deal to him. He was a good and loving family man. His passing leaves a hole in the lives of all who knew him, and who will miss him very much, and of those, you most of all. I pray that the Lord, who wept with Lazarus’ sisters at his grave but promised He is the Resurrection and Life, will comfort and support you all today and in the coming days, weeks and months. And you will see him again. You are all in my prayers, With my sincere condolences.

Dear Beres family: I am so sorry to hear the news about Glen. I enjoyed working with him over the years at JCK. Such a nice, dedicated and sincere man. Such a tragic loss at such an early age. My deepest condolences to your family during this very difficult time. May he be at peace. Warmest wishes, Randi Siegmund

Dear Beres Family, Please accept my sincerest and saddest condolences for the loss of Glen. I am still in shock hearing that he is no longer with us. Through the years, Glen and I worked together on a number of projects and issues. When I was president of Platinum Guild International, Glen and I brainstormed many articles and special editions to spread the word on Platinum. When Glen launched "Super Sellers" for National Jeweler, we spent many hours meeting about how PGI could convince the large chains and alternative sellers to consider offering platinum in addition to our efforts to reach the independent jewelers. Through the years, we would reconnect, mostly through business reasons, but invariably Glen would proudly tell me the latest news about his kids and wife. After Glen left the jewelry publications, I relied on him for freelance projects and would brainstorm ideas with him during my years with PGI and later after establishing my own marketing business. I am truly sorry and stunned to hear the news and I send Glen's family my deepest sympathy. I appreciated reading Whitney Sielaff's personal and poignant "In Memoriam" --we all met about the same time many years ago--which seems simultaneously-- like many lifetimes ago and yet just a moment ago.

It was my pleasure and privilege to work with Glen first at National Jeweler and then as one of his contributing editors at High Volume Jeweler. He was bright, imaginative, enthusiastic and hard-working. On a personal level, I enjoyed his company and hearing stories about his growing family. All of us who knew him are greatly saddened by his loss; my sympathy and love to his family.

I had the privilege of working with Glen while I was editor of IDEX. He was a great writer, a fun person to work with and most importantly was a kind and generous soul. My thoughts and prayers are with those that had the honor to love Glen and share his too short a life.

Glen worked with me at National Jeweler magazine, then freelanced for me at Accent and Accessories magazine. He was smart, diligent and always hard working. Very shocked and saddened by this news and my heart goes out to his family. Peace be with you, Glen.

Glen was a great asset to the jewelry industry and to the media. Throughout my career in NY it was always a pleasure to meet and talk to Glen. He was a great reporter, but more importantly a good person and a true gentleman. He will be very much missed by all who knew him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Glen was a fine man, a fine reporter, and most importantly, a good father. We will all miss him. My condolences to all his family.

Dear Beres Family, I am deeply saddened to hear the sudden tragic loss of a very fine gentlemen and a family person. No words can express the feelings of sorrow and condolences that we have. We were very fortunate to have worked with Glen in the Jewelry Industry....and are very saddened that he left all of us at such a young age. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Glen was a great boss and editor, a true pleasure to work for! He hired me years ago when he was the editor of JCK's High-Volume Jeweler. I remember how devoted he was to his growing family, and how dedicated he was to covering the jewelry industry. He was a wealth of knowledge and contacts, and so personable! He cared so much for others, and that was evident in the time he spent collaborating with coworkers on assignments. He was approachable, down to earth, and an all-around class act; it was a privilege to work with him. My condolences to his beautiful family; please know how well-respected and appreciated Glen was to many.

Glen helped me often in my work in the jewelry industry on subject ideas, resources, potential speakers, and in recognition of my work too. I'm glad to have known him and to have benefited from his insights. He is respected and honored. In the setting of the sun, I will remember him.

Glen was a good man, a good friend, a great reporter, and always a lot of fun to talk to. I'm totally shocked by this news, and wish his family the best. Such sad news. He will be missed.

I am so sorry to hear about Glen. We played football together at Howell High School and we would run into each other now and then at the North Howell Baseball fields. I recently ran into him at WAWA. He was a great guy. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
