Glenn H. Carlson

Wow...Is all I can say right now. As an assistant coach at WIU I formed a great frienship with Glenn that has carried over even after my departing at WIU. He was always a true friend who I watched help develop so many college bowlers that its so hard to imagine that he is gone! He will truely be missed not only by myself but our entire bowling community!

We have lost a good friend. I knew Glenn from college bowling. I bowled for SJSU as a player and I guess you can say assistant coach. He will truly be missed.

What a Gentleman! I will always remember him and his approach to coaching. He loved to win and most of all he loved his athletes. Glenn will be missed, but not forgotten.


Ball State Coach 88-03

Glenn taught me so much about the game in the one year I bowled for Fresno State in the early 80's. I also enjoyed working for him in the union. He will truly be missed.

I bowled for Glenn between 1994 and 1997. The man had what all good teachers need: the understanding that in order to teach an old dog new tricks, you've got to get it to unlearn the bad habits first; then the desired outcome can be achieved. Many of us kids had a hard time being patient while the old guy tore down our games in order to make us better than we thought we could be. But if we trusted him, had faith in his guidance, and let him shape us as he saw fit, the bowling would never...

I worked with Glenn in the USU for many years and will miss his kind, gentle spirit. I will also miss helping him figure out how to send mass emails and use excel. ;-)
You'll be dearly missed, Glenn, but never forgotten.

Glen was a good man. He was a positive influence in my career with the Student Union. I remember him visiting me more than once after I left Fresno. His support continued even though we lived in different states. I will miss him.

Glenn was not only a great coach but a fantastic mentor for all involved with college bowling. Glenn and Kerm were two of the coaches whom made college bowling what it is today. I believe they are both watching us today. A great loss. We will miss you Glenn.

Glen,
It has been a pleasure knowing you and being coached by you. Although i never had a chance to bowl for you, you inspired me to bowl and reach for more with your coaching and words. You will be greatly missed by me and all those you've touched over these many great years in the Fresno and California Community.
