Dean Torges

[Pat B]

I just read on PA that Dean Torges passed away on Nov. 4. If this is the case it is another sad day for traditional and wood bow archery, and the bow hunting world.

Pat,
That is what I heard yesterday.  I know he had been fighting cancer the past year.

Loved his writings, thoughts for his family and friends.

His part in masters of the barebow was one of my favorite.

Yes very sad. Never met him. Wish I did.

Pretty Grimm with faint humor. He was an amazing writer.
He will be missed.

Sad news indeed.  Have known Dean for many years but hadn't made contact in the last five or so.  I will share this with Rusty.

My respect and heart go out to his family and his Spirit. Never met him, but I have had a true appreciation for his writing, his philosophy and values, and his skills and vision.

I was just rereading a copy of his book Hunting The Osage Bow last night.  I always liked his writings.  Prayers go out to his family.
