Martin and family,
We’re sorry to hear of Tim’s passing. We had known him forabout 60 years from when we came as teenagers to bowl at Bonnie Doone Lanes. He was always friendly toward us and our parents who went on several bowling trips with him.
We extend our sympathies to you.

Hi Martin
I am saddened to learn of the loss of your Dad. Tim always treated my Dad, myself and Plaza Bowl so well. Tim was a Pillar of the Bowling Community and I know he will be missed by the many people who have come through Bonnie Doon Bowling Lanes doors.
