Many people have expressed their tributes after his death made the news.
“Very sad to report that Edward “Glenn” Farr, Oscar-winning editor of The Right Stuff, has passed away. He also cut from This is Elvis to Fasto to Commando to Nothing in Common to Akeelah & The Bee. He was a gruff, funny, kind man. He will be sorely missed,” David Poland wrote.
“Amazing. There must be so many small flowers of generosity Glenn Farr left in his wake,” Ray Pride.
