David "Pap" Diomedi

5 years, I still think of Dave often. I wish all of his wonderful family the best. I did my best bowling when bowling with Dave. I miss those days. John

To the Diomedi family, I want you all to know that I think of you often. I hope and pray that each of you have found peace and hope knowing Dave would have wanted you to to live your lives to the fullest. My best to you all, Wife, Children, Grandchildren and Great grandchildren. You are all part of a great family! John Mercer

To Dave's Family: I'm always thinking of all of you. Dave will always be with each of you. It's hard to believe it's been a year. John

Dave taught me SO much about bowling, and helped me become a pretty darned good bowler, shaping the next 40+ years of my life. He also helped me immensely when I needed it most, and for those things I am eternally grateful. My love and sympathy go out to Kathy, Lisa, Dave, and Gina, and their children and grandchildren. Sure wish I could bowl one more game with Dave!

I knew Dave for over 50 years. He taught me everything that I know about the sport of Bowling. Not only the game but also how to do everything in a bowling center. Dave forgot more about the art of ball drilling than most will ever know. The sport is a lot poorer without Dave Diomedi. I will miss you my friend.

My deepest sympathy to this wonderful family. Lisa, Gina, and David, having you in my second grade classroom was such a blessing. I saw Dave a few months ago, and he was so proud to update me on what you are doing. Kathy, my prayers are for you to find comfort, and a measure of peace as you make this journey. God bless.

The Arbor Valley USBC Association sends its heartfelt condolences to Dave's family and friends. His contributions to bowling as a bowling center proprietor, bowling pro-shop owner, bowling coach and mentor will be missed. An accomplished bowler and fierce competitor he was always available to help bowlers improve their game. Many bowlers in the area can credit their bowling successes to his expertise, guidance and support. Rest in Peace Dave Diomedi.
