I was very saddened to hear about Bobs illness a few months ago. He is at peace now but how difficult this must be for your family to lose such a kind and caring man. When I remember Bobby I remember a tremendous competitor, a wonderful teacher, and above all a kind person. Gods peace to all of you.

This week, the Central Ohio bowling community lost one of the best ambassadors to our sport. I had the privilege of watching my Dad bowl with Bobby for many years, and then later watching Bobby coach and mentor many, many youth in our area, who he and his family taught to love the game. My prayers to the Brown family (Barbara, Brian and family, Shawn, KB and Harry).
