SCORE International remembers Charles W. ‘Charlie’ Engelbart, one of the original SCORE staffers, who passed away on Dec. 12, 2025 at the age of 85. Charlie, as we all knew him was part of the core group that started SCORE in 1973 and remained part of our SCORE family team through the 2013 season.
Always with a friendly smile and kind word, Charlie, who lived most of his life in Norwalk, Calif., was the SCORE Contingency director who always remembered the name that goes with the face. He wore several hats in his SCORE career and he also especially enjoyed being the on-site race announcer at the start/finish line for over three decades.
“Charlie was one of the few originals that remained part of SCORE for those early years that turned into four decades,” reflected Sal Fish, SCORE President and owner from 1974 through 2012. “Charlie and his wife Linda were ‘go to’ people whenever we needed assistance with something. Both will be remembered always as part of the foundation and building blocks of SCORE. Charlie is one of only two people who worked more SCORE races than I did. That’s really saying something.”
Engelbart was also a deputy for over three decades in the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and prior to that he served in the United States Navy. He was born on January, 23, 1940.
Linda Engelbart and the rest of the Engelbart family are in our thoughts and prayers.
