Condolences
Dear Kelson Family,
I'm having a hard time finding the right words, but I just want to express my condolences and wish you a lot of strength.
Glenn was an incredibly valued colleague on our team and we will miss him greatly.
Only the best for you,

Dear Kelson family,
My deepest thoughts and condolences are with you at this most challenging and very sad time.
It was an honor to work alongside Glenn these past five years. I will remember Glenn as a highly professional colleague but above all as an extremely nice and caring person.
He will be terribly missed.

Dear Kelson Family,
You have my deepest sympathy. Wishing you peace, comfort, courage, and lots of love at this time of sorrow. My heart goes out to you at this difficult time. Lean on each other with all the great memories you have built over the years. You all know better than any of us how truly special Glenn was. I worked only with him for a short time at AGCS. Even after I left the organization we kept in touch. He was one of the kindest, generous, funny people I have ever met. He truly loved all of you with all his being. His passing is much too soon, but his legacy will live on through all of you forever.
Dear Kelson family,
My deepest condolences for your loss. It has been a joy working with Glenn over the last 5 years and I always looked forward to meeting with him at our annual Allianz Communications meetings in Munich/London. I am glad we managed to catch up once again this year. We will miss his professionalism, humor and words of wisdom. He will be greatly missed.
Wishing you strength during this difficult period and will keep you in my prayers.

Dear Kelson family,
I would just like to add my voice to say how sorry I am about Glenn's passing, and how much I will value the time we worked together here at AGCS over the last five years. He was a kind, caring and extremely professional and capable colleague, and I will miss him. He always had wise words to share, a story or two, or sometimes just a smile of support. Although we did not see each other in person that much, when we had the time to catch up, in Munich or London, or even just on the phone, it was always good fun and time very well spent. My condolences to you and all Glenn's family and friends.

Dear Kelson family,
I worked with Glenn very closely on internal communications topics at Allianz for the past few years. Glenn was always great to work with, full of knowledge and expertise which he readily shared, a great listener and always one to bring in a valuable perspective.
Highly professional, but also very personable with a great sense of humour, and a true family man at heart. I fondly remember some wise words of advice he gave me as I went on maternity leave with my third child which left me feel understood and valued.
Glenn will leave a big gap at Allianz and will be sorely missed by all who were fortunate enough to work with him. There are no words for what you as a family must be going through at this difficult time.
Sending you all my heartfelt sympathies and deepest condolences. I'm so very sorry for your loss - may loving memories of Glenn bring you strength and comfort.

Dear Kelson family,
It is with great sadness that we learned the news of Glenn's passing. Glenn was a valued colleague on our team, always ready with wise counsel and very connected to everyone at AGCS.
I fondly remember our meetings in Munich or London, the times we worked together over the years and the good times we shared. Always professional and experienced but you were his driving force and inspiration.
He will be greatly missed by all of us.
You are in my thoughts and prayers,

Dear Carol, Daniel, Joseph, Michael, Thomas and the wider family, my deepest sympathies and condolences to you all.
Like others who worked with Glenn at Allianz, I’ve loved being colleagues with him in our global team. He was so respected professionally - always happy to help, share ideas or brainstorm – but beyond this was also very well liked personally with his good nature and dry sense of humour. When we had our global team meeting in Munich in the summer I was lucky to sit next to him for dinner and we spent the time discussing all kinds of topics, but above all his love for his family shone through the whole conversation. We will all miss him terribly and I’m so very sorry for your loss.
With love, Ailsa Sayers
Dear Kelson family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you in this extremely difficult moment. It was a joy to work with Glenn for the past four years, even from a distance. He has always been a helpful colleague, ethical person and fun loving human being.
His loss will be felt by many across AGCS. May the memories of his wonderful personality and many contributions be celebrated by all.
My deepest condolences to the Kelson family. I worked with Glenn at Allianz for a number of years and although he was based in a different country to me it never felt like it. Glenn was highly respected by his colleagues but, more importantly, was a great guy. When we did meet up, he was always good company and his love for his family always came through in our conversations.
He'll be sorely missed and remembered with great affection. I'm so sorry for your loss.

My deepest condolences to Kelson family. Glenn was truly a great colleague to work with - both professionally and personally. Even though we were located on different continents and met just a couple of times in person, we were working online together on a lot of projects and Glenn´s work ethics, professionalism and sense of humor would always help to overcome the challenges. This is a tremendous loss for all of us. My thoughts are with you.
Glenn was a huge part of our communications community at Allianz – not just a colleague but a friend to those who were lucky enough to work with him. From serious company town halls in New York to catching up in a beer garden in Munich, from sunny days to rainy days, he was always ready to listen, to advise, to share a new perspective, to laugh, and to help out colleagues in so many ways, from the most junior new arrival to the CEO. That’s a rare combination of skills and shows his strength and quality of character. Everyone here at Allianz, his place of work, will miss him very greatly.
But work is nothing compared to family, and what also shone through clearly was his love and pride in his family. We always talked of that when we had time out from the work stuff. That’s why to you, Mrs. Kelson and to your sons and to your extended family members, on behalf of my team here, I send our very sincere condolences and best wishes at this extraordinarily sad and difficult time for you all. We remember Glenn with the greatest respect and affection, but we know that for you this is something far beyond respect and affection which is hard to put into words. You are all in our thoughts and we are very sorry for your loss.

Dear Kelson family, Glenn and I never met in person, but we exchanged several emails on articles for the company website. He was always so kind, helpful, and utterly professional. I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
I work for Allianz in Germany and I only met Glenn a couple of times in person. But even in these brief encounters it was obvious he was such a warm, friendly and genuine person. I know he was much loved and appreciated by his colleagues in the US. My thoughts are with his family and loved ones. I wish you strength in this difficult time.

Kelson family, our prayers and thoughts are with you during this time of grief for Glenn who definitely is 'gone too soon indeed'! Having worked with Glenn, I know him to be a calm and compassionate person, a professional communicator, yet slow to speak. What wonderful gifts he possessed.
Thank you for sharing the beautiful glimpse of your life through the memorial video presentation. You are blessed to have a wealth of love, family and wonderful memories.
There is a time for everything, as stated in Ecclesiastes 3, embrace this time and know that your joy will be restored. May the joy of the Lord restore your faith and give you the strength to carry on the good name and works that your family has experienced with Glenn. Kelson family, peace be with you all, Dolores. Shalom

Sending healing prayers and comforting hugs. I am so sorry for your loss. I work at Allianz and emailed back and forth with Glenn. He was always so upbeat and nice and always willing to help anyone.
Our deepest condolences to the Kelson family. From the Allianz family, we all extend the blessings and strength to your family in this very difficult time. Mr. Kelson certainly touched many lives at Allianz and in his community, friends and family. Anthony Ortiz and Melony Smith-Ortiz. (Allianz Family and Coworkers).
Glenn is the best of the best! I was fortunate enough to work with him at AGCS on a few topics. He worked hard and was great at it, but the purpose behind it all was very clearly his family. Having this foundation, at least from the outside looking in, made it look easy to craft messaging and maneuver through the challenging environments he was in. An amazing colleague and human being. His presence will be missed tremendously and felt widely.
Thank you for sharing him with us!
I had the honour of working with Glenn on the DEI Communications workstream at Allianz and wanted to let you know how much I will miss his editorial skills, his sense of fairness, and above all his engagement as a compassionate person. I am so sorry for this great loss to his family and his personal friends. I hope you are comforted to know that Glenn will be missed and remembered by many people you have never met.
My deepest condolences to the Kelson family, sending you strength to get through this difficult time. Erika Helmers (Allianz coworker)
Altho I did not know Glenn personally, but as a fellow Allianz employee, I can tell that he impacted many people with his life and work ethic. Carol, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your sons at this time.
I worked with Glenn the past 5 years. He was truly one of the best colleagues I ever had - great at his job, kind with a nice sense of humor, responsive, creative, willing to help and always professional. I enjoyed working closely with him on our diversity council also. I feel incredibly sad for his family, friends and colleagues. What a tremendous loss! He made AGCS a better place and we will all miss him dearly.
