Dear Michael and Monique, We are so sorry to hear your father has passed away. I remember him coaching our sons John and James Dixon in the Manchester Youth 10 Pin bowling league. Our sons became such good bowlers because of the patience your dad when he was coaching them. Your dad will always be remembered for his wonderful smile and kindness he shared with our sons. We will keep you and the rest of your family in our prayers. God Bless you all.
