I was deeply saddened to read that Stephen Glinert's father, Ed died on Saturday. He was a great supporter of Stephen at tournaments in the 90's, always had a good sense of humour, and was an accomplished entertainent lawyer at the time. He went on to serve on the Board of Socan, where I presently work. My condolences to Stephen and his family.
Here is his obit from the Toronto Star on May 23.
GLINERT, Edmund Lewis - Passed away Saturday, May 21, 2011 at the age of 63, after a brief sudden illness. Beloved husband to Ethel, proud father of Stephen and Alexis, and loving brother to Ricki. Predeceased by his parents Sydney and Joyce. Brother-in-law of Howard Eisenberg and Marlene Altman, and Naomi Eisenberg. Favourite uncle of Emily. Caring son-in-law of Jacqueline Eisenberg. For over 40 years Ed was a well-respected lawyer and prominent music industry professional whose humour and knowledge will be sorely missed. Special thanks to the incredibly supportive staff at Trillium Health Centre in Mississauga and Catharine Ritter and Shahista Walli from Trillium Gift of Life Network. Funeral service will be held at Benjamin's Park Memorial Chapel, 2401 Steeles Avenue West (3 lights west of Dufferin) on Monday, May 23, 2011 at 2:30 p.m. Interment at Congregation Darchai Noam Section of Pardes Shalom Cemetery.
