I just found out yesterday that Don had passed away. I am saddened to hear it and send my condolences to the family. Don sat with my Dad for meals at Liberty Retirement for the past couple of years. Up until recently, he would tell us stories about WV, the military, his wife, his career and of course bowling. He was quite a talker and liked to laugh! Lately he had been more quiet. Even though my Dad has dementia, I'm told that he has been asking about Don and wondering where he is! Believe me, that's big. Dad doesn't remember much. We will miss him.

I just wanted to let Don's family know how much we miss him. My brother Rick and I, along with several other friends, bowled with Don in local tournaments and leagues. We went to most of the Ohio and some of the ABC National tournaments. We always had fun and most of the time Don had the highest scores. Over the years Don had several 300 games. In the 196263 season Don rolled a 799 three game series which broke the Dayton city record set in 1935. Don broke a record that stood for 27 years. Don's record was broken later that year. One of the many times when I was having trouble with my game I asked Don if he would watch me and maybe pick up what I was doing wrong. After a few frames he came over and told me he saw the problem. 'You are not throwing enough strikes' he said. That was Don, dry sense of humor and all. We loved him! John Bowman Poelking Woodman Lanes
