Bradley M. Glass ’53

Brad died Aug. 6, 2015, after a long struggle with Alzheimer’s disease.

He was born in Evanston, Ill., and attended New Trier High School and Northwestern University before coming to Princeton. He was a member of Cap and Gown, an All-American defensive guard on the undefeated 1950 football team, and an NCAA heavyweight-wrestling champion.

After Princeton, Brad enlisted in the Navy, graduated from Officer Candidate School, and served in the Navy SEALs program. He then went to the University of Michigan Law School and joined a Chicago-area law firm after graduating. He served a term in the Illinois House of Representatives and six years in the state Senate. Increasing interest in the land led Brad and his family to eventually move to rural Wisconsin, where he formed a local law firm and devoted his time to issues of land conservation and Habitat for Humanity.

The class extends its sympathy to Barbara, Brad’s wife of 62 years; their three sons; and six grandchildren.
