    I thought I updated this but unfortunately he didn't last only but a few weeks after this original post. He went in having trouble breathing and 30 minutes later he was gone. It was a staff infection that actually got him from a few days earlier when he was in the hospital for treatment. I was at work at the time still with two hours before close. Wife called and I told me what happened and I told the bowlers I had a family emergency and closed 5 minutes later. Life isn't the same without him. This is why I am going to TN, he was supposed to move down there by the end of this year. My mother in law still is. He would have wanted us to do this. That's why I have been trying so hard to get a job down there. That and we can't afford Illinois anymore.

    He was a great man and we feel the loss every day. So many things would be different right now if he were still here. As you've probably guessed with my other posts, we are all okay and doing well even without him. We talk about him daily and are all determined to make him proud. Thanks Daisy and Boatman for your recent posts and everyone previous. =)
    Bowling Center Manager
    Arsenal consists of mainly 15# Motiv balls, I have several now and they are the bomb! Too many to list and carry. Still have a couple Hammer balls and my AMF RPM Swirl (old reliable) & 25+yr old Linds worth a mention
    Currently 535+ Rev Rate @ 19 MPH (This probably needs to be updated, I think I've toned each down a click or two these days. I'm letting the ball do more of the work as I get older.)

    I'm very sorry. At least you can have comfort in knowing that he is in Good Hands now.
