The home of Myles, Delphine, Allie and Nate Becker!
30 May 2007
Greetings, all!
For those of you that weren’t able to make it to the memorial service for Delphine’s dad, Dean Glandt, it was very beautiful. The folks from Wiederspahn-Radomsky Chapel of the Chimes did a great job of making sure everything was taken care of, instructions were given when needed, and everything went so smoothly.
After the memorial service and the graveside service, we all came back to the church for an early dinner. During dinner, Dean’s children and grandchildren presented a PowerPoint presentation that we had collectively put together. We had all gathered pictures and stories from the past, and put it together with music chosen by Perriann and Delphine. We got a really nice response from a lot of folks and afterwards a few people asked if I could put it on CD or DVD.
After doing some research and trying a few programs out, I finally decided on Camtasia, a screen capture software package that allows you to record audio and motion from your computer for sharing in several different formats.
Right now, I have available a web-based version. It requires Adobe Macromedia Flash Player, so if you don’t have that, you won’t be able to see the presentation. You can get it by clicking here.
Tribute Presentation: Click here to launch the video in a separate window. If you have any pop-up blockers, be sure to allow my site to launch pop-ups. Also, depending on your Internet connection, it may take a little bit to load enough to start playing, but it will show you the loading progress when you launch the presentation.
I’ll be working on getting this on DVD for those in the Glandt family that aren’t on the Internet on a consistent basis, or for those that would just simply like a copy of the tribute.
Enjoy!

One Response for "Dean Glandt Tribute"
Hello Myles,
We have never met but from my last name you can probably tell I am distantly related to your wife’s family.
I do research on my genealogy from time to time and came across your web site and tribute video for Dean Glandt. I am sorry for your loss. I enjoyed your tribute video very much.
Through my research I know that Dean was a first cousin of my grandfather Darold Glandt. Some of the photos of Dean have a striking resemblance to my grandfather. The family tree goes somewhat like below:
1. Peter Julius Glandt
2. Peter H. Glandt
3. Darrold W. Glandt
4. Roger Dean Glandt
5. Jeffrey Dean Glandt (me)
2. Martin G. Glandt
3. Dean Martin Glandt
4. Delphine Becker (Glandt)
As you can see, my grandfather gave my father the middle name Dean that was passed on to me. I’ve always wondered where my middle name came from and the only reference I have ever found is my grandfather’s first cousin Dean Martin Glandt. I’ve always imagined they were close but have no proof of it.
Anyway, no specific reason for contacting you. Someday I hope to travel Wyoming to do a bit of research on the Glandt’s so connections in the area will be beneficial, but no specific plans for a trip anytime soon. I have strong connections with the Nebraska Glandt’s as that is where my great grandfather Peter H. went back to from Wyoming to live and many of my uncles and cousins still live there.
I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area but now live in Vancouver, BC Canada. I moved here ~9 years ago for work, met my wife, got married, and have one son (Peter L. Glandt, obviously from the family tree). I think he is the first Canadian born Glandt so I though Peter was very appropriate.
Take care,
Jeffrey Dean Glandt
