Title: BALL DRILLER
Post by: EFFEN 10 on October 07, 2004, 11:50:56 AM

Does any one know what happened to
Ron Nelson's Pro Shop? His place was located
behind the Palwaukee Inn on Milwaukee Ave.
in Wheeling,Il. I went there yesterday to
have him drill a ball and it was all locked up.
No sign out front or note on door explaining what
happened.Anybody know?

Effen,
Although I don't know the exact details, I do know that Ron Nelson passed away a few days ago.  I know the wake was yesterday, because I knew some bowlers that were going to attend.

Is this Ron Nelson Jr. the roto-grip staff member, or his Father??

Thanks Rick. Ron was drilling all my
bowling balls since 1999. Ron was a
great guy once you got to know him.
May he rest in peace.

izzo,
It was not Ron Nelson Jr.  I am pretty sure there is no relation.
