L. Glenn Barkalow ’47

Glenn’s long and fulfilling life ended March 9, 2011, at his home.

He left high school a semester early with the intention of joining the Air Corps, but he was told that doctors were more in demand than pilots. He attended Dickinson College and graduated from Princeton in the Navy’s V-12 program. Glenn attended the Long Island College of Medicine, served his internship and residency from 1949 to 1955 at Roosevelt Hospital in New York City, and spent two years in the Air Force Medical Corps in England (1951-1953).

He returned to Freehold, N.J., to set up a practice in internal medicine that occupied his life for the next 41 years. Glenn was an early force in bringing a hospital to the Freehold area, and the opening of the hospital was one of the proudest periods of his career. He was chairman of the department of internal medicine at the hospital — now known as CentraState Medical Center — for 18 years. He retired in 1996.

Besides his passion for medicine, Glenn had a love of sailing that he shared with his family.

The class extends its deepest sympathy to his beloved wife, Winifred; sons Derek, David, and Kurt; his daughters, Glenda and Susan; and 10 grandchildren.
