Tom Sullivan I never knew Pete, never met him, but I knew his name and how it was synonymous with running in Rochester. May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of His hand. An Old Irish Blessing
Tom Renner Relation to Deceased: friend I knew Pete through working out at my club Nautilus of Pittsford. We both shared a passion for track and became friends all those years ago. One of the great runners to come out of Rochester and yet he was easy going and could listen to anyone talking about running never letting on his knowledge and expertise and accomplishments. Very humble and easy going. Track community will miss him! I am very sorry for your loss. The butterfly emerges from its silken shell- Reborn, it arises, no longer bound to earth. Free at last, the butterfly glides to heights unknown before. So do our loved ones find a beautiful release as, earthbound no more, they leave our sight and joyfully rise to a garden of matchless beauty, a place of light and peace. -Evelyn Phillips
Tom Bayer Relation to Deceased: Fellow Knight (Class of ’81) I want to extend my heartfelt sympathy to Pete’s entire family. I was a year behind Pete at McQuaid but he never made me feel like an underclassman. He was kind and always quick with a smile or some funny quip. As truly “a man for others” he embodied much of what McQuaid tries to instill in us all. May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of His hand. An Old Irish Blessing
Sarah Kehoe Rest in peace Pete Glavin..you touched so many people…I’m sure God had you run right into heaven.

Paul Dennee Peter was a great person and a great runner. He will be remembered always for his great sense of humor and the encouraging words to his McQuaid friends. Love and prayers to his family. He will be greatly, greatly missed.
Mike Mulqueen Relation to Deceased: former coach, friend Pete, you will be missed by so many people. I coached Pete at Rutgers and shared an apartment with him after he graduated. I remember our long runs together and his passion for watching hockey games at night back in the apt. He was one of the first people I told when I got engaged, since we were sharing an apartment together, and my wife and I are married almost 23 years now. Pete was a great friend to all of us at Rutgers. God bless you, Pete. Mike Mulqueen The butterfly emerges from its silken shell- Reborn, it arises, no longer bound to earth.

Kevin Peartree Relation to Deceased: Classmate I was saddened to learn of Pete’s passing. As a classmate of his at McQuaid, I always admired the determination and commitment of the runners on the cross-country and track teams, not to mention the joy and friendship they found in running. Though I had not seen Pete in many years, I know from all that has been said of him in recent days that he demonstrated and enjoyed those same qualities in how he lived. My deepest sympathies to his wife, his children and his entire family. The butterfly emerges from its silken shell- Reborn, it arises, no longer bound to earth.

Joe Contario Relation to Deceased: Friend I student taught in 7th grade Social Studies at HF-L, and Peter was one of my students. He started at McQuaid the following year, and the year after that, I went to McQuaid as a teacher. While at McQuaid, I helped Mr. Bradley with Cross Country, so I got to work with Pete a great deal. He went on to Rutgers, but I would see him at GRTC meets and road races when he was home. We remained good friends through the years. I’ll miss his humor and the sense of perspective he had on life. And I’ll miss seeing him every few months and catching-up on our families. A great guy.

Jim Yurgealitis Relation to Deceased: Classmate I was a classmate of Pete’s at Mc Quaid and will forever remember him as a good natured cross country runner with more sectional championship patches than there was space for them on his varsity jacket. His sense of humor and affable demeanor were hallmarks of his personality. I always admired the determination and the esprit de corps of the cross country runners at MCQ and Pete embodied those virtues as both a classmate and an athlete. My deepest condolences to his family and friends. May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and rains fall soft upon your fields.
