Scott Walter Glenn was born to Bill and Connie Glenn (Nee Garrett) in 1952 in Wyandotte, Michigan and spent his early years in Waukesha, Wisconsin. At 13, Scott moved with his parents and brother Kim and sister Sheri to Hong Kong, where he attended a British school, an American international school, and graduated from Morrison Academy high school in Taichung Taiwan, returning to the United States at 18. Never one to shy away from adventure, Scott hitchhiked across the country, ready to embrace the world with a burning curiosity, courage and determination. After a brief stint as an actor, his sojourn in the arts and summer stock led him to NYC, Broadway and the stage, where he was a production stage manager with The Little Shop of Horrors, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Cats and Ain’t Misbehavin’.

In 1992 he decided return to school to elevate his creative and business chops. He graduated from Fordham University in 1996 with high honors. For nearly 30 years, he worked behind the scenes of world-class Broadway shows and hundreds of corporate productions, earning respect for his creativity, dedication, skill, and in-charge demeanor.

His greatest role, however, came later in life when he met his wife, Jill. Together they built a life centered on mutual interests, love, loyalty, and partnership. Scott was a devoted and supportive husband, always putting his family first and being a constant source of strength and inspiration. Their son Christopher was born in 2000, and in 2001 the family moved to Sea Bright, New Jersey, where Chris grew up surrounded by the sea, fishing, clamming, swimming, and surfing. Scott coached Chris’s soccer team and accompanied him to karate and robotics tournaments all over the US. He gave 100% to everything he undertook and was a phenomenal father.

After many years of working together for other production companies, Scott convinced Jill to start their own production company, Glenn & Glenn Productions. Scott’s vision and business sense led to over 20 years of producing meetings and events for several Fortune 500 corporations.

In 2016 (and after Hurricane Sandy), the family moved inland, but Scott’s love for the water, storytelling, movies, theater, and for his family never faded. He fought a long and strenuous battle with cancer that depleted his body but never his spirit and great sense of humor. Up until the most recent medical procedure, he joked with doctors and nurses. He was grateful for the great care he received at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

Scott was a devoted husband, father, and best friend. He gave 150% to all that he did and was a considerate and thoughtful man. For Jill, he was a loving and steadfast partner. For Christopher, he was the best dad anyone could ever have asked for—supportive, patient, adventurous, and kind. His guidance, humor, and love will endure and be felt forever by his wife Jill, his son Christopher, his extended family and friends, their numerous pets and all who had the privilege of knowing him.
