Glenn Driscoll Obituary

Glenn Driscoll, my father, made it his mission later in life, after the children were grown and he could relax a little, to roam, to keep moving, to keep discovering the world he called home, and perhaps more importantly, to spread kindness wherever he stayed. I have not done a good job of living up to his legacy, but I hope to one day.

Glenn was (is) an amazing soul. I learned through him to meet the needs of others. To listen and develop training that fit their needs and to deliver it in a facilitative way that allowed them to discover their self, soul, and heart centered purpose. Glenn, you are ever present in my thoughts I am grateful for your insights and kindness.

good words by a godo man

Mr. Driscoll was my principal at Sproul Jr. High in the early 1960s and he was also the principal who gave me my first teaching job at Janitell Jr. High in 1974. He used to talk about how everyone had a personal “board of directors “, people who had significant and everlasting influence on ones life. Well Mr. Driscoll was on my “board of directors”. He was a great man and one of the most caring educators I have ever known. The guidance he gave to me in my own educational career was momentous. I admired him, respected him and believed in him.
My condolences to his family. How fortunate you must feel to have been part of his loving family.

What a wonderful mentor and kind soul. I will always appreciate his work with our most fragile kids when I was with CASA. Blessings to you all.

First of all, my sincerest heartfelt sympathies to the family. In the early 1970s I was a student at Sproul Junior High School. Glen Driscoll was part of the staff which included Phil Cozzie, Don Stanec, and Caesar Guiterres . I remember him as a soft-spoken , gentle and always kind individual. I have thought of him often throughout the decades , wondering how and where he might be. One of the last times I saw him I was in the grocery store with my young daughter, (now just shy of 39) and unbeknownst to me he had stopped to observe my interaction with her. When he reached me he told me how beautiful it was to see the obvious love I had for my child. This further epitomized his constant awareness, readiness to offer commendation and share his thoughtful insights. I will forever remember this gentle soul as one who impacted my life for the good. I am certain he will be missed by the many whose lives he touched!

At the end, when it was clear he was not going to be able to go back home, we asked him if he was afraid. He was fully lucid. Okay, his hearing wasn't so good, but he gave that broad smile of his and said, "No, I'm not afraid. I'm curious to see what's coming next." We loved him, we love him, we worried, he set our minds at ease. His final gift.

I was so fortunate to have Mr. Driscoll as a teacher and a principal in Widefield. He was a wonderful mentor and I enjoyed learning from him. A life well lived for sure. Condolences to his family in this time when losing someone is even more difficult with so many restrictions. I hope you were able to be with him when he passed from this Earth.

I’m so sad to hear about Glenn Driscoll’s passing. He was always so kind to me in high school and later during my teacher training. He was truly an inspiration to his students and an incredible mentor to teachers like me. Rest In Peace Mr. Driscoll. God Speed!

He was the principal when I was in school with Sandra. It sounds like he had a full and wonderful life. Peace to you all.

Glenn was always a special friend of my parent. He was a great principal while I went to Widefield. Sorry for your loss Sandra and Scott.

We only met him a few times, his love of his children and to be the best mentor for those in his life in family and professionally resinated with us. Our thoughts are with the family and all who loved him.

My condolences to his family. I'm deeply saddened of this news to my beloved former Principal and my very first counselor. He picked me as one of his students in his counseling group and I was so happy and honored of it.Back in jr high they first started the program for this and alot of us was assigned to various staff as our counselor's. I was deeply honored I was one of his students. It didn't matter with him, he always had time for you to say hi, how's it going. Whether in the hallway or in his office. He's an amazing man and I always look up to him and I tried to keep in touch and send my thoughts his way. Like my dad, he is a very special man who you can learn and appreciate all in life. I also meet part of his family when I was in school. I will always hold him dear in my heart forever.He will always be a dear family friend. Liane Ballard (Daniel) Christine, Delano (Inge)
