I'll never forget your husband and father, he brought us SO many thrills..The first one i remember, was when he was bowling at The Bowlarama in Copley,Ohio..I forget who he was bowling against, BUT he had 11 strikes and came up for his final ball, which he left the 10 ten..WHAT A THRILLING GAME..He laid face down on the approach.....I will never forget this..

To the family of the Kokomo Kid. Your dad was my favorite bowler. There will never be another match like the 1970 T of C final game. I always enjoyed watching your dad when he came to Akron to bowl and enjoyed watching him on tv. I learned much from his bowling books and your dad always had time to talk with the bowling fans. I will miss the Kokomo kid dearly. JIM
