April 21, 2010. Wow. On a lark, I just googled George's name and came upon this announcement. I am saddened and shocked. I was one of George's good friends in grade 6 & 7 at Gardenview School in St. Laurent and then at Sir Winston where we went to high school together. I lost contact with him for years but around 1986 I appeared in court on a traffic ticket that I wanted to challenge. It took so long to get to me that by the time the judge called my name, I had decided I had had enough and would just pay the ticket. So when the judge asked me how I pled I responded: "I'm innocent but I plead guilty to get it over with." It turned out that George was in court representing a rich client who had hired him to plead for him so that he didn't have to be there. Afterwards, George came up to me because he had heard my name and we talked about the good, old days. In reintroducing himself to me, George said: "Hey, Kondaks, that's the most inventive plea I've ever heard since I started practising law." A few months later, we got together for lunch at Katsura Restaurant in Montreal where we had a great time catching up. At the time he told me he was considering a move to Toronto which, I can now see, he followed up on! My condolences to the family. George was a fun, great guy.

I met George for the first and only time last December. We talked over the telephone and corresponded via email and otherwise before and after, but we met when we appeared as counsel on a motion before Justice Perell on December 3, 2007. Fortunately, we were on the same side. I say fortunately because George delivered a very effective attack, both more aggressive and clearer than my own. Opposing counsel did his best, but it was quite clear we had won the day - at least, to some extent. George was everything one hopes for in an advocate - persuasive, personable, candid, concise & to the point and, most importantly, effective. He was also engaging. He brought a sense of interest to his submissions in what was could have been just another dreary procedural battle. I really liked him. He was a real human being, interested in life and the world. I was looking forward to working with him on this case in the future and getting to know him better. So, I had only a short, almost incidental, encounter with George, but I remember him and his smile, his brightness and his enthusiasm. I was shocked to see his obituary and photo; I simply couldn't believe that a man so full of life could be gone so quickly. I wanted his family to know that George touched many in this way, even in passing. He was a tremendous fellow, and I can't even begin to fathom what his loss must mean for all of you. I was sorry I couldn't attend last week, but I suspect there were many, many more who truly knew George who were there and able to let you know how he made a difference in this world. Yours, Brian Rogers

Dear Olwyn and family, As I turned the page of the newspaper, I saw the name George Glezos. Even though it has been over 20 years since we were in-touch, I was immediately struck by the terrible news. My deepest condolences to you and your family. Olwyn, I hope you remember me from our days at Concordia, and later time spent at your first home in NDG. I have over the years thought of you, and wondered how you were. I also never forgot the kindness that George extended to me such a long time ago, when, after my father's passing in Australia, George looked into the matter of my father's estate, and gave me sound advice, all of this, simply at the request of his lovely wife Olwyn, a dear friend of mine. Such a helping hand is never forgotten, and perhaps he and you never knew how meaningful it was for me...but now he knows. ...my heartfelt love Tina

My deepest sympathies to the Glezos family on your terrible loss. George and I were friends through elementary and high school though we lost touch and went our separate ways during our college years and after steady girlfriends entered our lives. I retain such fond memories of him from that formative period that when I read of his sudden passing I felt compelled to share some memories. Seeing the photo of George's smiling, confident face in the obituary reminded me of the 15-year old I once knew, with his easy laugh and fondness for David Bowie. We shared a love of downhill skiing and George often joined my family and I on day-trips to the Laurentians or Eastern Townships and I recall at least one weekend spent at his parent's chalet near Belle Neige. At 16 or 17 we both bought the same pair of bright orange Spalding skis. Something went wrong with the mounting of the binding on his skis and George was aghast. His father, viewing this situation as a potential learning experience for the future lawyer, sent him back to the shop to force a settlement, which George did. One of the pleasures of visiting the Glezos household in those years was the taste of George's grandmother's special cookies - coated in powdered sugar with a piece of anise at their centre. In his house we friends also got to witness, and never tired of, George's particular way of teasing his sister; he convinced her that she had hair growing between her teeth and would need to visit the barber. Farewell old friend.

Dear Olwyn, Matthew and Melanie; I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm in total shock. I heard about George today. George and I shared an apartment together during law school in Sherbrooke. I have very fond memories of George. He loved the law, and excelled at his studies. More than anything else his passion for the law motivated me to finish law school. That and his good taste in music (especially Bruce Springsteen)! My only regret is not having kept in touch with George more often. I last saw him about two years ago for lunch. He spoke so very fondly of you all. Please accept my most sincere condolences. Max Paré Toronto, July 23, 2008

Dear Olwen Auntie Sophie and Mary. I was deeply saddened and shocked to hear of George's death. It is never easy when a loved one dies, especially when he is so young, full of life and still with so many dreams unfulfilled. Life can be so unfair at times. I know how difficut it must be for you Olwen losing your beloved George, and how difficult it is for the kids. You see, its ironic how my dad was 53 as well when he passed away. I know first hand the pain you and the kids are experiencing. As the days pass and you overcome the initial pain, you will find comfort in the fond memories you have of him. He will always be a part of your lives in heart and in spirit. George Glezos was one of the genuine "good guys" in life and you can be proud of that. That is why I say without hesitation, "those who knew him will dearly miss him." When Auntie Sophie and I spoke on the phone, she said "What will I do without my George?" In times like these, we draw strength from the people we love. Auntie Sophie, Olwen and Mary, We are family, and you can count on Kathy's and my love and support always. I am especially saddened that my work commitments did not allow me to pay George my last respects and be with the family. My prayers and my thoughts are with you. Love live the memory of George!

I am truly saddened to hear that my high school friend, George,has suddenly passed away. My house was the meeting place for our group of friends. We spent many idle hours hanging out, as kids do at that age, and listening to music. I remember that he loved the Rolling Stones. George was always lighthearted and fun to be with. I was glad to have the opportunity to catch up on the last 35 years at our high school reunion. Though a little more serious then he used to be, he still had that mischievous glint in his eyes and that fun way about him. My condolences to the family on this great loss. Francine Toulch-Schwartz

Dearest Olwyn, Matthew, Melanie, Auntie Sophie, Mary, Ted..... There are no words! Our learning of George's passing was truly a shock and a moment in time that will forever stand still for us all. I can't help feeling saddness, loss...anger over the tragedy of this event. As George recited at my father's funeral "I will always remember Uncle Harvey as a man who deeply loved and was devoted to his wife, children, nephews and nieces. My memories of him will always hold a very special place in my heart. Uncle Harvey was a very exceptional man." Who would have thought, or ever imagined, that one year later, I would be expressing the very same thoughts about George...truly an exceptional man!

To Mrs Glezos and Family , I take this time to offer you all my deepest codolences . I started with Lerners September of 2007 , and on the first day i started George was walking past the reception area and he took the time to make me feel like i was in a place where there was a loving family outside my home family , for that i will be eternally grateful . Each day was a blessing for me to see Goerge walk off the elevator and head my way and say "what is the song of the day " and then to have his hand out for the room temperture water . To have George say you make my day when i get off the elevator , i'm sorry i didn't have the chance to tell him , thank you for allowing me to be myself each and everyday . Gone but never forgotten . See you in Heaven :-)
