Thomas "Snake" Gluck passed away late Friday night of this week after a high voltage of electricity coursed through his body until he was dead.
His remaining family were not surprised by his passing, as it had been scheduled for some time, and the governor had made it clear that he was not interested in another stay of execution, despite Mr. Gluck's protests.
Snake was reportedly an independent fellow, who, even as a child, preferred to keep to himself. He often pushed boundaries by bending rules, and physically forcing others to do things he wanted. Perhaps the best example of his personality was a bright April day in 2004, when he robbed a bank at gunpoint and shot and/or bludgeoned 8 hostages. Snake always did like money, and was never really the type to try to earn it through honest work. And everyone who knew him, as well as the jury that convicted him, could tell you that when he got his mind set on something, he would make sure it happened that way.
In his spare time, Snake liked to carve things out of soap bars, often using improvised sharp objects that he would fashion himself from whatever scraps of metal of hard plastic he could find. He enjoyed making them so much, he would often have one of these devices on him whenever going to the cafeteria or recreation. In November of 2011, Snake was unofficially named as the meanest inmate in Block D, a title he wore with pride.
Due to his unspeakable crimes against decency, his body went unclaimed by his remaining family members, but anyone wishing to pay their respects may inquire with Warden Jeter at the penitentiary.
