Kim was a beautiful, confident and vivacious women. She was a staunch actress, performing her

Glenn was a special person
to so many of us. The news of his untimely passing is a shock to us all. Glenn was a fellow thespian, my chiropractor and
my friend. I can't remember him ever having a harsh word against anyone. He was always so kind hearted, uplifting, encouraging
and always just wanted to hear me sing. My favorite joke with him is when we would schedule my appointments and I would tell
him I had class on a certain night. His response "Jennifer you are a classy lady, you always have class." It saddens
me that I will never hear him say that again. We shared so many laughs. Glenn you will be missed more than you could have
ever known.
Jennifer Loudermilk That is truly sad news. Kim was a wonderful
person and a talented actress. I directed her in "Southern Fried Murder" with Rock the Boat Productions
about 3 years ago. I think I did a photo call with that show. I will check my records to see if I have any pictures
to contribute. -- Ethan Scott Glenn was a friend of mine for many years. We met at a theatre performing
in a show. Since then we've performed in many shows together and work together whenever possible. We would frequently
talk about old shows or old people we used to work with. He was a great chess player (and teacher) and beat me every time
I tried to play him. But he never gloated... It wasn't his style. Glenn was a man who's great gift was loving everyone
he met. And making them feel welcome and like they had a friend. Whether he disagreed with you or felt iffy about certain
things you did... He still made you feel good. Just being around him you'd know he cared... He was a very funny individual
and could make a joke out of almost anything... He was smart and wise... a rare combination. But to top it off he was as giving
a soul as could ever be. He and I at one point, several years ago, worked out a trade... I'd teach him guitar and in exchange
he would give me spinal adjustments. After one lesson he decided guitar was not his strong suit and gave up, temporarily on
lessons... But he insisted on adjusting me anyway; and that I make follow up appointments almost every week for the next year
and a half. Not once asking me for money, nor resuming his guitar lessons which I wanted to give him. As our mutual friend
Dr. Scimeca recently said. Glenn was imperfectly perfect. And that, I must say, is the absolute best description I could ever
give. He may not have been the best dancer, or singer... But it could never be said that my friend Glenn Nadel had any flaws
of character. If you describe any of his traits you'll know it's true. He could compliment you in just the right way.
He could encourage you in the right way. He could even make you laugh at something so simple, you'd never know it was
a joke. Glenn was made to be the greatest friend anyone could ever ask for. He gave everything and insisted on taking nothing
back. My biggest regret, is that I didn't study Glenn on a daily basis to determine how I could be more like him... And
what I really want, is for everyone who knew him to think about him... And try to find at least one way that we could all
use to be a little more like Dr. Glenn Nadel. I will miss you. You were my closest friend. Chad D. Tindale
Glenn Nadel was also in Cheaper by the Dozen at the Blackwell Playhouse. He was excellent in the role of Frank Gilbreth,
Sr. He will truly be missed. Stephanie Carter
Glenn and I worked together in Frankenstein. As the blind DeLacey he showed The
Creature kindness, patience and a willingness to teach. These were many of the traits he showed in real
life. Glenn will be missed in our community, he took his craft seriously but still enjoyed a good joke.
When DeLancey died The Creature was heartbroken, that’s nothing compared to how I feel now.

Glenn was a great friend and a very gifted actor. I had the privileged of directing him in Frankenstein.
I cannot think of another actor who would have played the role with such grace and humility. He helped me when I was ill because
of a car wreck, and never cease to give when the opportunity arose. You will be missed, my friend. Rob Hardie I was saddened
to hear the news of Glenn Nadel's passing. We were both recently cast in the show Narnia and
I was looking forward to working with him again. His sense of humour and friendliness came through as he portrayed
numerous characters during his acting career. I am glad I got to know him and work with him on stage. He
will truly be missed. Rene' Voige My condolences to the family of Glenn, he will be missed. He was a strong advocate of local theater and a
loyal contributor to many plays thru the years. I knew Glen from our association with the Big Top Theater.
Murray Sarkin dear sweet man died this
week. His name is Glenn Nadel and he was a chiropractor and an actor. He recently took on acting and was in Frankenstein and
Arsenic and Old Lace at Blackwell Playhouse. He had a gift for comedy. (He was also in Into the Woods for a little while playing
Cinderella's Father.) When my husband got in a car wreck, Glenn gave him chiropractic care for free to help with his whiplash.
He was always kind and giving. He recently went into the hospital for pneumonia and never came out again. He just turned 50. The atlanta theater community has lost a great actor and friend. RIP Glenn Nadel. Amanda
Hardie How many people out there have been blessed in some way by having Glenn as a friend? He
was sweet and witty, and really loved to have fun. When I hurt my back BADLY, he was so great, and really helped me. I could
barely move...and he helped me unselfishly. Not only was he a great doctor, he was a great friend. Great actor,
too! Very funny! We were in an improv show together, and I remember him coming out from backstage in a grey wig and BRIGHT
RED LIPSTICK. I think that EVERYONE in the audience did a double-take. I just can't believe this happened.
I owe so much to my friendship with Glenn, and will miss him so very much. Kristine Polansky had
met Glenn over at Big Top Theatre and at Blackwell Playhouse. He was to be in Into The Woods, but was unable to. The short
time that I knew him, I found him to be extremely kind and helpful. He will be greatly missed. It was a great shock to hear
of his passing. Anita Stratton Glenn was kind witty and generous.
He always strove to improve his craft with voice lessons and acting lessons.He touched many people in his 50 years.I
already miss him.Annie Cook
