Charles Vance McCullough

I was a Sigma Nu a year behind "Flint" in school. He and Kent Kirby and myself had a number of "adventures" including hunting rattlesnakes up on the mountain ridge back in the Summer of '66. Great times and great memories. So sorry for the loss to your family. Best wishes.

I deeply regret your loss. Vance and I were friends when
I attended grad school at Penn State. I was an active member of the Spring Creek Chapter and we shared some fishing time together.

Found this photo of Vance taken at the Allenberry Resort in Carlisle, October 2009.
Vance, Joe Humphreys, Mark Belden, and posthumously, George Harvey, were being honored by the Fly Fishing Museum, for their work with PSU students, teaching hundreds of young people the skills and the art of fly fishing.

Dear Ruth,

I am so incredibly saddened by Vance's passing. He will always hold a special place for me. So many fun times with him, Rich, Ivan and the crews that showed up on my door step over the years.
I am so glad that I got to see the both of you just a month ago.
With Love and sympathy

For some reason I thought today of the incredible Orienteering class I took in summer 1980. I do not remember the names of any college instructors outside of my major but I remembered Vance and googled him only to sadly find his obituary. He had an impact. My condolences.

I am so sorry for your loss. I meet Vance last spring at Clearwater program. He was such a gentleman with his time and expertise. He spent time fishing and teaching and sent me his patterns for the school kids I work with. I was a better person for spending time with him.

Dear Ruth and family..I was so shocked and saddened to hear of your husband's passing. While I didn't know him personally, the wonderful words and tributes speak volumes about the impact he had on the community and on individual's lives. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this very sad time..take care. Amy and Kevin Leddy

Ruth, I'm very sorry for your loss. Vance was an enormous help to me personally during my time running different hockey programs in the early 80s. To me, he was always the right mixture of motivation and yet had a sense of calm. He certainly had a greater influence on me than any of my academic professors. Our prayers are with you and your family. Matt Glass ‘83
