Hello
Folks,
A sad
day and great loss for the
fathers/mothers rights movement.
The night
after Glenn died in the car
accident, his wife called
me. Glenn had received
various messages from me to
talk about NACW. He
had mentioned to her that
he was looking forward to
discussing the Court Watchers
procedure. She mentioned
that he had fallen asleep
while driving. He had
gone to Arizona for a job
intervies and had taken the
'red eye' flight and arrived
back with practically no sleep
or rest from so much work
in all areas.
I was
on his email list and his
post were always with wisdom.
He will
be missed. Here is the
letter that his wife asked
that it be passed to all the
groups.
James
National
Association of Court Watchers
Please feel free to honor
his wife's request that we
post this to as many groups
that we can so that they will
know why Glenn may not have
responded to the many emails
that he received daily.
-----------------------------------------------------------
My name is Andrea Eckles,
and I am the wife of Glenn
L. Eckles, Jr., or Gleckles.com,
as many of you may know him.
Glenn died in a tragic car
accident on Aug. 31, 2005
on his way home from work.
In the months prior to his
death, Glenn worked laborously
trying to get
legislation passed to benefit
fathers and their children
during a time of divorce,
and sought every possible
platform on which to speak
on behalf of the injustice
of our current (anti)Family
Court System.
Because of this current system,
two of his beautiful daughters
were denied their fair share
of time with their father,
and now it is too late.
Some of the things you may
not have known about Glenn
are as follows. Glenn
was 42 years old and was an
Engineer/Sr. Technical Manager
for America Online Internal
Computing. He was a
father to six beautiful daughters
ranging in age from 4 year
old twins to age 20.
(stepfather to the eldest).
He was an avid deer hunter,
a Southern Baptist Christian
man, and a huge John Wayne
and country music fan.
Glenn was a true gentleman,
and believed in integrity,
truth and humility.
We loved enough to sustain
me a lifetime.
Our oldest daughter, Susan,
will be one of the cast members
for a reality show that will
air in the Spring entitled
"Back On Campus."
Glenn and I along with 4 of
our daughters will be in one
of the episodes, and ABC FAMILY
has already stated that episode
will be aired
in memory of my husband.
I am grasping at straws at
this moment, trying to figure
out all of the people that
Glenn emailed on a regular
basis, so that they can be
informed of his death, and
not think he is just not responding
to them. I am asking
for your help, to notify everyone
in the groups about his untimely
passing, as his email address
has a constantly changing
password of which I have no
knowledge. I will try
as hard as I can to carry
on his legacy.
Those of you who communicated
with him on a regular basis
will agree with the Pastors
final words at his funeral
service yesterday: "Well
done, thy good and faithful
servant." We asked
in his obituaty that in lieu
of flowers that people donate
to Acfc.org and the organization
address was listed as well.
Due to his past military career
(AF) Glenn will have an Interment
into Arlington National Cemetary
on Nov. 14th. Time TBA.
Please
pray for all of our beautiful
girls, who will ironically
be growing up without their
Daddy, but who have the full
knowledge that their daddy
loved them and fought to the
end for them and their own
children. I will miss
him.
Sincerely,
Andrea Eckles
