I am so sorry to hear of Jeff's passing. Jeff was a father figure to me, he and his dad Loren. I basically lived at Sunrise Bowl as a teenager, I worked there after school, and bowled in a couple of leagues and hung out there as much as I could. In fact, I was caught by the truant officer in my senior year of high school skipping school there. Sunrise was my home away from home, my Oasis, and for that I have been forever grateful to Jeff and family. Even though I haven't lived there in 40 years, it seems like yesterday. I know ther must be a special place in heaven for Jeff. My thoughts are with you during this trying time. Mike Brehm, Morgantown, WV

I am so sorry to hear about Jeff's passing. Jeff and my brother Dick were so close, and I always enjoyed watching the "Downing Boys" bowl. The Prindle family was so gracious and thoughtful to everyone. I know at one time my Dad, my brother Dick, and myself, all worked at Sunrise Bowl. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you during this most difficult time.

Dear Marty and family,
We were so sad to hear of Jeff's passing. I remember most his kindness to me as a young woman and helping me through many of my physical ailments. The kindness the Prindle family showed me has resulted in many kindnesses shown to others. His example of generosity and laughter will never be forgotten by Mike and myself.
Please know you are in our prayers and thoughts always.
