CITY MOURNING PASSING AWAY OF LEN GLOOR

By Juan Montoya
We have received word that a longtime Brownsville native Leonard Gloor, 54, president of Gloor Hardware & Specialty Lumber, Inc. passed away today, two days after the family decided to remove the life support systems after he had remained on an induced coma for the better part of three weeks.
Gloor Lumber Company is a private company has an annual revenue of $3,500,000 and employs a staff of 27.
He was a 1976 graduate of St. Joseph Academy. 
Gloor had suffered a fall on South Padre Island and had struck his head. He had refused to call an ambulance until friends grew concerned when he was unable to keep his balance.Brownsville residents used to see Mr. Gloor tending to the family business and he will be missed. It is unknown whether his passing away will have any effect on the operations of the Gloor Lumber Company.

Len's got a twin brother named Les. And an older brother named John. Knew them all. A great family.

On behalf of the family we find this post not only offensive but grossly inaccurate. You should get all the facts before you post on a public forum. Not only for the respect of the family and the Brownsville community but for the business that Len Gloor spent his life building and making it the success that it is currently.

This family has had so many losses in recent years. His brother also passed at a young age. My prayers for his family.

Your articles regarding civil law are always very helpful and I enjoy reading them. You must be an important part of Florida legal community. If you can recommend good lawyers, they can submit their contacts for free to the Attorney Directory on Attorney Online. I invite there only the best lawyers, for example look at the category with Florida civil attorneys http://attorney-online.info/dir/civil/florida/33 Do you know other people who can be listed there?
