Title: Sad story of a Bowler
Post by: Triple X on December 02, 2004, 12:00:28 AM

This guy on my Wednesday Miller Lite league shot his first ever 300 perfect game about a month ago. He didn't even get a chance to see/wear his ring 'coz he passed away last sunday of Brain Aneurysm.

May his soul rest in peace...

Condolences to his family for the loss...  That is kind of a tragic he will never get the ring, yet at least he was able to attain perfection before his time came.  Hey, who says God isn't a bowler eh?

On a light note, I guess some people cannot handle the excitement of getting their first 300  Bad joke, I know.

Sorry to hear about your loss.

On the lighter side, at least he went out with a bang.  Most of us hope to shoot a 300 before we die; we just pray there's a longer stretch between the 300 and the end.

If the ring doesn't come in before the funeral, see what you can do about having it imbedded in his headstone under a clear acryllic filler.  A fitting memorial for a job well done.

I can only hope that the association has some sort of presentation ceremony that included the family...

The 300 rings are taken for granted in the bowling community, but I am sure he was thrilled to have finally thrown a perfect game.  His family deserves to have a positive parting memory from an activity that he obviously liked doing.

RIP

RIP.

At least he attained perfection before, along with after.

Thank You all for your concerns.

Sawbones,

You were right about it of him unaware of the aneurysm. From what his teammate told me, when he got up from his bed, his fiancee saw him made a weird face & just fell in the floor. Right on the spot, he died. I don't know him personally well, but I'll speak to his teammate to relay to his family about your suggestions, ie. imbedding of the ring on the headstone,presentation ceremony.

Thanks,

That is really sad. I hate to hear about people dying, its just not fair. I agree with the headstone idea though. I think he would be honored looking down, and seeing that.
