Glen Proechel - April 14, 2012
Glen Proechel, active in Minnesota Chess for many years, died April 14, 2012. Glen is survived by his wife, Maryse; sister Janet Cooper, daughters, Lisa and Sara and grandchildren. Services will be held Saturday, April 21, 2PM at Trinity Luthern Church in Janesville, MN. Online tributes at www.mcraithfuneralhome.com.
Glen was born Jan 3, 1938 in Janesville, MN. He was an expert chess player and was the MN State Jr Chess Champion as a Sr. in high school. He was MN State Chess Champion as an adult and a many time MN State Sr Champion, most recently in 2008, and also the Iowa State Champion in 1967. Glen enjoyed playing simultaneous chess exhibitions, playing 10 or more games at a time. He also played correspondence chess with players around the world. Glen was a linguist speaking 7 languages fluently. He also enjoyed playing Scrabble, Go and checkers, but chess was his first love.
The Grand Forks Herald mentioned that he was an expert in the Klingon language. What an interesting life.
