sad news from harvest park bowl in brentwood ca.

[mike-boogie]

Youth bowling coach Gary Robertson passed away this weekend. He was a treasure to all who knew him, and always had a passion for the sport, and willing to give help and advise to all. Will be missed!

Hey mike-boogie.

Harvest Park happens to be my home bowling alley, and I too will miss Gary. He was a great coach on my leagues and helped me get my 126 average up to the 180-200ish that it is now, over the last year. He was also a great friend, and a great person. Even though he was fighting cancer, he was always happy and willing to help. I'd never seen him sad or angry.

How did you know him?

It's always sad to hear about someone passing away. My respect goes out to him for the contributions he's made to the game.
