Not sure what to say?

I never got to meet Charlie, but he has inspired me through his work, his knowledge and his faith for many years. I still think of him often. Charlie was a gifted man in many ways. He will continue to be a wonderful inspiration to many people for years to come. Rest in Peace my friend and enjoy your time in paradise.

I received my new copy of deer and deer hunting just the other day and still in shock! loved his work and sadly missed . my regards to your family... Kevin babcock marlboro NY

I'm a huge fan of Mr. Alsheimer and his numerous articles and books. I heard him speak at a wildlife banquet in Virginia and had the pleasure of meeting him in person. His passion for whitetail deer and photography and his respect for those who serve in our nation's military was obvious. However, his love for God and faith in Jesus Christ will impact lives for eternity. I know he is with Jesus now, probably wearing that infectious smile and asking a thousand questions about God's creation...

I had the privaledge to have met Charles several times and heard him speak a few also while working in the hunting industry. He was a great talent with a camera; putting us right with the animals and was a warrior for Christ. He possessed and shared freely his great knowledge about whitetails.
He traveled to churches to speak to sportsmen in his later years to the exclusion of all other industry traveling as i understand; fearlessly hailing Jesus.
Truly a great sportsman,...

I just found out today March 6, 2018 of the passing of Charles J. Alsheimer, when I received my current issue of Whitetail News & saw his picture on the front cover. He was a very gifted outdoor writer and photographer, who shared his faith, & love for God not with just deer hunters, but with everyone. He had a way of connecting with you whether you were a whitetail hunting...

Charlie was one of the nicest persons I ever had the privelige of meeting. My sincere sympathy to his wife and son. Gail Calkins

Charles Alsheimer's death is a great loss, like that in 1819 of John Cavanagh, a house-painter famous for his skill at "fives" (i.e., handball). The opening sentences of William Hazlitt's 1819 essay applies as well to Mr. Alsheimer:

"When a person dies, who does any one thing better than any one else in the world, which so many others are trying to do well, it leaves a gap in society. It is not likely that any one will now see the game of fives played in its perfection for many years...

What a great family i use to be w/ his mom alot an all the family. SO sorry for their loss. elly.

The world has lost a true man of God. Visited with Charlie many times at his home in Avoca. He was a welcoming and inspiring human being. Called me once when an old time friend of his, Rocky Colavito was visiting. Thru Charlie's thoughtfulness I was able to meet a life long hero of mine. What better can be said of a man than, a true man of God. The world is a sadder place. Walt DeLap, Captain NYSP BCI (retired)
