Glombecki, Gerry

Gerry Glombecki born December 7, 1946, Chicago IL, passed

"The Ballad of George Hayduke," for which he was honored with 
placing first in the Arizona Anthem Poetry Contest. Another 
personal highlight was being inducted into the Arizona Blues 
Hall of Fame. He is survived by brothers, Mark (Erin), Tom 
(Terry) and nephews, Eric, Ryan and Bret. He will be
