Northbrook Obituary: Daniel Glazer, 74

From the Glazer family:

Daniel Love Glazer of Northbrook passed away peacefully on March 26th due to a stroke.

Daniel was the loving husband of Karen Glazer, father of Andrew (Jennifer Young-Glazer) and Rachel (Kyle Belleville), son of Mildred and the late Joe Glazer, brother of Emily Glazer (Karl Kosok) and Patti Glazer, brother-in-law of Fred Allemann (Will Budreau) and Mary Benitez, cherished uncle of David Benitez (Kelly), Maya Kosok (Max Romano), the late Santiago Benitez, the late Karen Benitez, and the late Ariana Kosok, and dear friend to many.

Daniel had an adventurous youth, attending the Woodstock festival & the March on Washington, teaching yoga, and competing in chess tournaments.

After a successful career as a computer programmer, he enjoyed an active retirement of teaching and playing chess, reading voraciously, and involvement in church.

He will be remembered for his kind and gentle manner, his service to others, his intellectual curiosity, his strong religious faith, and his passion for jazz and the New York Yankees.

A memorial service will be held later this spring at Northbrook United Methodist Church.
