Memories and Condolences

I have many fond memories of Sherwin baby sitting for Mike, Marie and me on Rome Avenue in Highland Park. Growing up in the 50's, Sherwin liked and owned great cars with fire decals on the side. Sherwin introduced me to country music by letting me listen to "White Lightning" by George Jones and other country hits. I remember that bowling was his passion which he made the center of his life's work.

May many fond memories of Sherwin help ease your sorrow.

TO: Andersons
I am so sorry about the loss of your father. He was such a nice man, I remember him rooting you guys on at the bowling alley. Drakulas' won't be the same.
God Bless your family.

when Andy was a bowling instructor at Drkula's, I was at least 7 months pregnant, but took the lessons anyway. My timing was off, so Andy wanted me to NOT have such an exagerated push away for the ball delivery. He would stand next to me on the alley. Well, I pushed away once too often and he slapped the ball right out of my hand and it went behind me!. He wanted me to initiate the swing with more of a drop, I did that and I had the timing we were looking for. I had quite a few 200 games and an occasional 500 series. The child was not born with a bowling ball in her hand, but we thought that it was a possibility because of our frequent time spent at Drkula's.
He gave me a lifetime memory for sure.
My sympathies for the family.

Hold on to and cherish all the wonderful memories and times you shared. He is a good man and even a better Dad. He always made me laugh and will be missed by countless, countless people! Love you all and thinking of you. Let me know if you need anything today and always.

Dear Bev and Family,
You have my heartfelt sympathy. Andy not only had a big role in teaching me to bowl but I regarded him as a true friend. I have the highest respect and gratitude for him. May it be a blessing for him and for all of you that this lengthy illness is now over.
Sincerely, Tom Gerber

Bev and family, so very sorry to hear of Andys passing. There are so many fun memories of times at the pro shop, during league and at tournaments. I still have pictures from our old Friday night banquets, one is of Andy after being a pie in the face victim.

I could never repay him for all the time he spent with me when I first started bowling professionally. He was a good friend and good man.

May he RIP.
