Dear Tim, Ken, Steve and Kelly,
I am so sorry to hear of your father's passing. He was a kind man who took great interest not only in your lives but in so many young bowlers along the way. I remember him organizing the Sunday morning Junior Singles league that was not only a good time but gave me many ideas for youth programs down the road. May you have many happy memories of your wonderful dad.

sincerely,
Dave Barciz
