falcon Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Received this e-mail today: It is with a heavy heart that I must report the passing of Glen Eng this morning. He was a friend and affiliate of many a world class Drum Corps including The Polish Falcons, New York Skyliners and the Bridgemen. He was currently the Executive Director of The Spirit of New Jersey. His passing was sudden, and he will be missed. Arrangements will be posted as soon as they are available. Glenn made MANY contributions to the Drum Corps world--he will be greatly missed.

ironlips Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Glenn has been my friend since the late '60s when we attended Manhattan College. His talent was extraordinary in scope, exceeded only by his heart. Though he could have taught any corps in the country, he chose to devote his life to serving those who needed him the most, local neighborhood, community drum corps. Most visitors to DCP will not have heard of him. The presence of his public image was inversely proportional to his heroic importance in the lives of his students. That's a fitting legacy for a man like Glenn. It ceased too soon, but his was a life well-lived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
