The Passing Of Glen St.Charles

[Tony Sanders]

I hope its ok to post this here, but I saw on another site that Glen St.Charles passed away on the 19TH . A Great Bowhunter have passed on, and one that certainly have made his mark in the bowhunting world. I was glad I had the chance to meet and talk to him a few years ago at Denton Hill.

I bid him Godspeed.

The last of his era has gone on. May what he did for archery never be forgotten.

What Ron said......

Met the man once several years ago at the only Kalamazoo Trad Expo I've been able to attend. He was well advanced in years even then, to the point he could not get around without assistance.  But he sat there all day long and signed autographs for anybody that stopped by. (Still can't bring myself to wash my Stormy Kromer, name's on the bill)  Contrast that with today's overpaid, spoiled celebrity brats who wouldn't give you the time of day for less than six figures!  Ron's right...gone, but not forgotten!

amen!!!

He'll be missed around the camp fire. But, I'm sure there is a place in heaven waiting with all his old friends with lots of good hunting and long nights around a warm fire. I wish him fair winds and good hunting, he will never be forgotten or left out of our prayers.

When you think of the older guys and gals who helped pioneer bowhunting, Glen sure comes to mind.  I was fortunate to be sitting at the same table Glen and his wife Margaret at the Saturday evening banquet for the Professional Bowhunters Society.  Margaret took pictures of everyone at the table with Glen and then mailed us photos a few weeks later.  I recall thanking Glen for all he had done for the recognition and advancement of bowhunting.  Glen's humble reply was to the effect that what he had done was nothing different from what the rest of us would have done had we been present during that time period.  He will be missed.

I will never forget...

I had a few contacts with Glen St. Charles over the years including a few phone cnversations and one letter about an old bow my Dad built from Osage back in the 1930's.

He didn't know me at all, but he treated me with the utmost courtesy and kindness, and I have always been grateful for his good words and help when I needed it.

As has already been stated, a LEGEND has indeed slipped from our midst.  He will be missed for sure.

Sad day for all of us, God speed and condolences to his family.

Sorry to hear that. My wife and I had a chance to visit with him at his home. We came away with the feeling that you could define the word gentleman by using his name. Wonderful man.

I've got one of Pat Marino's prints of Glen St. Charles collection of equipment signed by Pat and Glen at the PBS banquet held here in Traverse City back in 1994 (and beautifully framed).  

Ron LaClair said it best.

We should all have so much positive impact

Glen St. Charles was a very special human being -- traditional archery is so much richer because of his legacy.  God bless!
