This past weekend, Kansas City area fire fighter John Glaser was killed in the line of duty.
John is survived by his wife and two children. He was a finisher of Ironman Louisville in 2008.
I didn’t know John personally, but a former co-worker grew up with him and called John his best friend.

In case anyone was so inclined to contribute to the memorial fund, here is the information - and a link to a post written by his brother on another sports message board he and I both participate in
