From Ron Goldman editor at Woodwest, a little more detail he left on Facebook.

It is with great sadness that I must report the passing of Jerry Glaser, who died of a heart attack after falling down his back cement steps on Tuesday. Jerry was a pioneer in the woodturning field. He began turning seriously in the 1950s, and his work was exhibited at major shows in the 1960s, along side Sam Maloof and Bob Stocksdale. Being an engineer, he began making tools after having a conversation with Bob Stocksdale. Bob talked about what he wanted in a turning tool, and Jerry was able to produce the Stocksdale gouge in high speed steel. Though more like a hobby than a business, Jerry created a line of the highest quality woodturning tools, including gouges,skews, scrapers, and screw chuck. The family plans to hold a Memorial Service in the future, to be determined. Jerry was 93.

This is very sad but I am sure that he will be remembered by his great talent and great creations and most specially for being a great man. Prayers and sympathies to Mr. Jerry and his family and may he rest in peace.
