I just learned about John’s death this year.
I want to send my sincere condolences to you Julia (A good friend) and to your children.  I have wanted to get in touch with you for a long time.  You and John were great friends.  May God bless you in the years to come.

Captain Gluck was a first class officer and person.  Forgive me for just now finding out about his passing.  His leadership and efforts during the height of the Cold War are grossly overlooked.  He was truly "at war" while serving and commanding on the "big and black that never came back".   Sincerely,  W. Connors - USS ALEXANDER HAMILTON (SSBN617) / AEROFLEX SYSTEMS

Hi Julia, Carla, and Family-  We apologize for our delay in writing but we wanted to tell you how saddened we are about John's death.  We will always remember him as a dedicated father to Carla and a wonderful grandfather to Andrew, Bradley, Caroline, and Michael.  We remember cheering him on in a race in Olney  with Carla and Andrew.  Thinking of you and your lovely family always.  Love, Gay and Rich Melnick

Julia, so sorry to hear of John's passing. Our condolences to you and your family from those of us who were privileged to serve with him at DIRSSP. Hopefully some of us will be able to attend his final services at Arlington National Cemetery when that takes place. Most sincerely, Howard Chatham, Hank Fishel, and Dave Anderson

Julia--We have been out of touch for a couple months--traveling.  I'm so sorry to hear of your husband's death.  I am supposing that he had been ill for some time since the donations are to go for ALS at Hopkins. My family has strong ties to Hopkins and I am sure that he got first rate care there , ALS affects the whole family so I am keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

I am deeply saddened to hear of John's passing.  I served with him on Tinosa in the early 1970s.  I lost Tammy to breast cancer in 2006.

The crew of the Ethan Allen send sympathy to Captain Gluck's family.

I had the privilege of serving with Commander Gluck on USS Thomas Edison In both Hawaii and Washington State.  Lori and I are grateful for his leadership through the challenging (and even sometimes scary) moments of being a submarine family.  He was always mindful that there were spouses and families behind the crew.  His leadership taught many young people lessons that can't be learned elsewhere.  Thanks for sharing him with those of us who served with him. His legacy is larger than you may know. We are so sorry for your loss. May you feel God's love.

Julia, I was so saddened to hear of John's passing.  He was the stabilizer of the Ethan Allen crew when he and I served together.  I will always recall it was he who pinned on my Gold Dolphins.

He is missed.

Jennifer, I had the pleasure of being one of his many crewmembers  aboard the USS Thomas A Edison SSBN/SSN 610. He was a great man and a great Commanding Officer. Ours condolences and prayers go out to you and your family. We will miss him.

I had the pleasure of serving with Commander Gluck when the USS Thomas A Edison SSBN 610 changed its homeport from Pearl Harbor HI to Bangor WA and when the sub became USS Thomas A Edison SSN 610. I consider him my commanding officer and when I saw him at the Edison's reunion in Washington, I recognized him as a friend. Our prayers go out to his family. We will miss him

So sorry to hear of the passing of Capt. Gluck...did not serve with him but I made the last patrol on East Coast before SSBN 610 went to Pearl Harbor...Capt. you can now rest your oars...

Capt. Gluck taught me how to be a submariner. I learned true leadership from him. He left an incredible  legacy.

Jennifer and I have John in our prayers as well as his family. He was a fine man and a credit to the uni8form he wore. We send our prayers and blessings to his family and friends.

Dear Julia and Family,
No words can adequately covey an appropriate sense of your loss, but you are in our thoughts and prayers.  John will be sorely missed by all. He was a wonderful classmate.

Julia,

I am very sorry for your loss. While it has been over 50 years, this Philadelphian still fondly remembers John's bright, outgoing personality. He was a very special person.

Dear Julia, it was wonderful seeing you today and meeting your wonderful family.  I didn't know John that well but was honored that he played on our golf tournaments for three years here in Queenstown, MD.  Growing up on the same street as kids it was wonderful to see your brothers and sisters today also.  Blessings and hugs, Ruth Easterling

Extending deep and heartfelt sympathy to you, Julia, and your family. I hope it will be of some comfort knowing I care for your loss.

We will always remember John's eternal smile, a friend and classmate.

Julia,
Janie and I pray that God will wrap you and John in His arms. NAPS, NAVY, and NUC - we sailed in the same waters. You picked the right guy. We are thinking of you.

Julia and family
Please know that you have our sympathy, prayers and love. He was both classmate and friend. We have known you two for so many years at Annapolis and in the submarine service. We realize he is in a better place now, but he will always be remembered.

To the Gluck family -  My heartfelt condolences to you on your loss.  John and I went through NAPS together, and we both also were on the gymnastics team while at Canoe U.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Julia,
I am so sorry for your loss, and offer my heartfelt condolences to you, Carla, Katherine, & John and family. For me, he shall always be 'my Captain' and mentor, and I join your many friends in sending my love while keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Mrs. Gluck and Family,

    I was shocked and deeply saddened to read of John's passing.  I am a runner and retired Navy officer, so we had a lot in common.  Over the years I would see John at local races and always enjoyed his company. A lot of our conversation involved comparing notes on our latest injuries! I will miss John's great sense of humor and easygoing personality. Please accept my most sincere condolences on the loss of this good and kind man.

Dearest Julia,
John was a special person who brought so much joy to our lives.  He will be sincerely missed by us but I feel certain Neil was there to welcome John into his new life. Love, Peggy

Julia: So sorry to hear of the passing of John. Please know that my prayers are with you and your family at this time.

Dear Julia and Family
When John was diagnosed with ALS we were all in shock. John carried his fate with courage, dignity grace and a witty sense of humor. Friends and family gathered around the ice bucket challenges:the   Family rallied to a jogging John run in July.  Julia and John were involved and supporters of the ALS research center at John Hopkins Medical Center. John was beloved by his wife, children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews. John,we all will miss you,including your service to Mt Vernon and your friendly wave and smile on the Mt Vernon path.  Our prayers are always with you and your family.

Julia and family, So sorry to hear of John's passing. Love to you and your family. Diane
