We will miss you Dick Weber

I've been out of town for the last couple of days. Once or twice a month, I travel to Paducah, Owensboro and Bowling Green for my job, and I just returned from my latest sojourn down the Western Kentucky Parkway, or, the Pothole Highway as I like to call it.

My friend JC reminded me in an email today that PBA and ABC Hall of Famer Dick Weber passed away at the age of 75 on Sunday night. He was classy and was what old school bowling was all about. Dick, Don Carter and Earl Anthony are probably the 3 greatest bowlers we have ever seen. Dick won at least one PBA title in 5 consecutive decades. I had the chance to bowl in a tournament at his bowling alley, Dick Weber lanes, back in 1985, in Florissant, Missouri, just outside of St. Louis. I didn't get to meet him, but his son John was there working at the center that night, and I felt privileged to have to opportunity to bowl in his bowling alley.

Dick Weber was class with a capital C. He will be missed.
