So sorry to hear of another classmate passing.  What a great bowler he was.  My word, that many games of 300.  I was doing good to bowl a 140 a game.  Rest in peace with Our Dear Lord Tom.

It's always sad to hear one of our classmates has passed away, yet it's always refreshing to learn about them. Thirty nine 300 games??? I thought I did great when I bowled a 200 game--only once wink. I didn't know hime all that well, though I like what I remember of him. RIP and God bless you and your family.
