Glanzer is credited with getting state Sen. George Borrello active in politics.”When I was still in high school, he was the person who initially got me interested in politics.” He was a brilliant man, with intellect equaled only by his kindness and wit. He told me how pleased he was with me all the time.
Coming from a legend like Jack meant the world to me. As an educator, public servant, and great leader, he gave so much to our community. His legacy lives on in each and every one of us. “Rest in peace, dear friend,” Borrello posted on Facebook.
