In 2002, at his induction to the National Darts Hall of Fame in Clarksburg, W.Va., Glenn W. Remick reflected upon his long affiliation with the game, from his teenage years as a dart player in various pubs to his founding of the St. Louis-based American Darters Association in 1990.

“It’s been a wonderful career, one I wouldn’t trade with anyone. It doesn’t seem possible I’ve been full time in darts for 25 years. Darters are the best people in the world.’’

Mr. Remick died Nov. 2 at the Missouri Baptist Medical Center from amyloidosis, a disease that affects the body’s internal organs and tissues. He was 58.

Mr. Remick, a resident of Foristell, Mo., at the time of his death, was elected captain of the US World Cup Team and led it to an unprecedented second-place finish in Brisbane, Australia, in 1985. He gained the sponsorship of Anheuser-Busch brewers to get the darters’ association started.

“Selling the idea that a dart league is going to promote beer sales is not that tough of a job,’’ Mr. Remick said in a 1997 interview. “Dart players have a tendency to drink a beer every now and then, and it’s one of the few sports you can play and consume alcohol at the same time.’’

Mr. Remick moved to Missouri 19 years ago when his association’s headquarters were established in St. Louis.
