1 This is so sad.  Glenn L. Reed, 26, of 102 East Ave. passed away Wednesday (July 27, 2016) at the Erie County Medical Center in Buffalo in the loving presence of his family. Born July 24, 1990, in Bradford, he was the son of James Cushman and Shannon Reed Smith. Glenn was a graduate of Bradford High School, where he was trained and worked as an auto mechanic detailer. He was an avid outdoorsman who loved hunting, fishing and motorcycling.
Following Reed's death, the minister of our new church offered sympathy and guidance, and encouraged us to be open about his suicide. She said there had been two or three suicides over the years in that congregation and she could see how the impact of stigma and silence had rippled down into the third generation. Our being open about Reed's suicide might, she suggested, help these folks in their healing.
