"Mr. Hadsell was a kind and generous soul. We rented violins and then voilas from him for two of our kids. He was always very helpful and had wonderful advice. We have two violas purchased from him which shall stay in the family. Rest in peace Mr. Hadsell."
In loving memory of
Glen Coral Hadsell Jr.

Hadsell, Glen Coral, Jr.
January 1, 1942 - May 3, 2019
Glen was born in Belleville, IL, to Glen C. and Bettynell Hadsell, Sr., where his father was a radar instructor at Scott Field. The family then moved to Boca Raton during WWII where Glen Sr. taught at the radar school and Glen watched the planes overhead. In 1949, they moved back to Nebraska. Glen was educated at Dundee School, Central High, Eastman School of Music, UNL and the San Fernando Valley School of Law. He was a violinist and music educator whose many experiences included being selected as a student with Jascha Heifetz.
Glen is survived by his sisters, Alice Hadsell Wallis, Glendale, CA, Cynthia and Carolyn, Omaha, as well as his nieces, nephews and cousins. He was also the adoptive grandfather of the Maudhoo family, especially Nadia.
He requested no formal service and encouraged all to attend music performances. Special thanks for the recent care provided by the wonderful staff at Hickory Villa Assisted Living and by Hillcrest Home Care and Hospice Care. He also had excellent care from Dr. Charles Stoner and at the UNMC Center for Successful Aging with Dr. Joseph Hejkal and Dr. Natalie Manley.
Memorials suggested to Omaha Central High School Foundation and Omaha Area Youth Orchestra where he served as its first concert master in 1959.

Tributes
"Condolences and bright blessings. I always admired Glen's talent and longed to be that good. I hoped for a life in music, which, thankfully, i have lived. Started from the same ground, (Dundee and Central) but our musical lives were very different."
"I knew Glen years ago when we were both in All-city orchestra. I was a Benson Bunny. I liked and admired him so much and often wondered where life took him. I loved his violin playing. So far ahead of most others with music ability in high school. I think I still have a World Hearld photo of him taken before one of our concerts. Sending you lots of good healing energy and blessings to all thre family"
"My deepest sympathies to Cindy and the rest of the family!"
"I was very sorry to hear of Glen's passing. Without a doubt he was the most talented violinist I have personally known and certainly the most knowledgeable about the instrument. Glen was incredibly generous, especially about sharing his knowledge. His passing is a great loss to Omaha's musical community. I do have a question for the family and would like to request an email at your convenience."
"To all of Glen Hadsell's siblings, particularly, my friend Cindy. Although I never met him, it's clear to me that Glen led an amazing life. He was a musical artist who shared his talents educating children who undoubtedly flourished, thanks to him. His legacy will live on within them and he will live on in your hearts."
