Seems to happen in Michigan.  Hmmmmmm.  This one was in Kalamazoo in 12/2005 ---->   http://www.usatoday.com/sports/2005-12-30-bowler-dies_x.htm  

Maybe it's a good thing JeffRevs isn't bowling anymore.

Actually, I can think of no better way to go.  We all have to go sometime, let me go when I'm doing something I love perfectly.

Someone should call USBC and get a ring shipped overnight that he could wear as all the loved ones pass by at the funeral... or at least some kind of recognition. Bowling was apparently a very important part of his life.

Hitting 300 can be a very stressful event, especially when it's the first.  That quickening pulse can take its toll on a weak heart.

At least the guy died doing something he obviously loved.
