Harold Glicklin (7/12/28- 11/16/25) and Nancy Louise Johnson Glicklin (10/6/29- 9/12/14), were happily married for 60 years. They moved to Hopkinton, MA from Clinton, CT to be closer to their daughter, Donna, son-in-law, Phil, and granddaughters, Katie and Lindsay Todaro. They resided at Golden Pond and Fairview Estates.
Harold served in the Marine Corps from 1946-1949 before going to NYU for physical therapy on the GI Bill. Nancy went to Roosevelt Hospital School of Nursing. They met at Roosevelt Hospital where Nancy was an ER nurse, and Harold was an ambulance attendant.
Harold grew up in Bronx, NY, with his father, Benjamin Glicklin of Russian descent, mother, Charlotte Albert Glicklin of Austria, sister Beatrice, and brothers, Robert and Sheldon.
Nancy grew up in Providence, RI, with her father, Axel Johnson of Sweden, mother, Anna Hartvik Johnson of Finland, and brothers, Lloyd and Kenneth.
Though of different upbringings and religious backgrounds, Harold and Nancy fell in love and eloped on 6/25/1954. Their families welcomed them completely with love and open arms.
Harold and Nancy lived the American dream and faced life’s challenges with grace. They had successful careers, owned their own home, raised three children in Westport, CT, traveled, and had artistic hobbies, but most of all, enjoyed the company of family and friends! A favorite tradition was Swedish Christmas Eve with their ever-growing eclectic family, (too many to name)!
Harold and Nancy brought love and goodness to the world. They lived good, long lives and they will be longingly remembered happily ever after….
