MARK L.
Of Pittsburgh and Ligonier, a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, and son, died suddenly on October 14, 2013 (local time), while traveling in India. Born March 26, 1946, in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Mr. Glosser is survived by Dr. Caryle Glosser, his wife of 37 years. Mr. Glosser is also survived by his daughters, Jennifer Glosser Fagan (Dr. Jeffrey Fagan) of Maryland and Deborah Glosser of Pittsburgh; his grandsons, Eric and Ian Fagan; his parents, Ruth and Isadore Glosser of Marina Del Rey, CA (Johnstown, PA); and his siblings, David Glosser (Clarisse) and Miriam Miller (Michael Miller), all of whom will miss him dearly.

He also pursued his passion for writing sci-fi literature for children and young adults and fulfilled a long-time dream of being a cowboy, buying a ranch in the Texas Hill Country and restoring it to its natural hill country beauty. A kind and gentle family man, Mr. Glosser loved his family dearly. He enjoyed nature, his pets, and clay shooting. Mr. Glosser also possessed a sense of adventure and traveled extensively, visiting 49 of the 50 U.S. states, and many foreign countries.

Dear Mrs. Glosser,
I just found out about Mark's death. As you may remember, he helped me on several difficult cases when I was bankruptcy trustee for Lawrence and Beaver counties. I much prized his friendship, his advice, and his many talents.
With sorrow,

Mark was a sweetheart!
When my wife Sherle, "woke up" at St. Margarets hospital after her stroke, the first person she saw was this man in a 10-gallon hat--- whom she recognized as our friend, Mark Glosser!
We will never forgethim.

Dear Glosser Family, I just heard of Mark's sudden passing. My earliest memories of Mark were when he was in my Sunday School class at Rodef Shalom. My deepest sympathy to his dear family and his wonderful parents, Ruth and Iz. May he rest in peace. Love, Shirley

So sorry to read of Mark's passing. Mark was an excellent attorney and Bankruptcy Trustee. I often would call Mark to get his opinion. I am happy that Mark retired and had the opportunity to be with his loving family and to travel extensively. He will be missed by many.
