My teammate, Andy Rubin, passed away suddenly of a massive heart attack a few days ago. I've bowled with Andy for about 20 years now, of which 5 on the same team. Throughout his bowling career, he bowled nine 300 games, and three 800 series. He was a great person, as well as a true team player. He will be missed. He was 56 years old.
This is a link that shows video of the final 3 shots of one of his 300 games, plus a picture of the scoresheet. It occurred during a team game of 1296, where we put up 257-258-224-300-257, which is a 259 average per player. I was honored to be a part of that achievement, which you do not see every day for a team of 5.

Our condolences on behalf of all of us here at Bowlingboards.com
I'm sorry for your loss, a great friend can never be replaced.
An Irish pray:
May the road you travel be down hill.
May the load on your shoulders be light.
and may you be in God's hands a half an hour
before the Devil knows about it.
(I paraphrased this, from the original one I inherited from my father)
All pins are POSSESSED, I'm just happy to be able to exorcise the poor dears and put them out of their misery.
It's the least I can do
