Tom Skiff Jr. and his soul mate Joan Redington
One of the pictures that the late Tom Skiff Jr. cherished was when his good friend Paul Minton bowled a 300 game during a Monday league and Tom bowled a 300 during a Wednesday league at Kiamesha Lanes several years ago. When asked to pose for a picture Tom insisted that he wanted to share the limelight with Paul.A Tribute To The Great Tom Skiff Jr.
Tom Skiff Jr. was a great friend and an outstanding league bowler and his death last Friday, October 31, will leave a void in every ones heart who knew him.
We and many others who associated with Tom in the "Bowling World" that he loved so much knew that at times he could be very stubborn and quite vocal in the various positions he took regarding bowling and the regulations that effect this sport.....and how passionate he was when defending the positions to took.
His positions sometimes did not sit too well with others but he stood firm in what he believed was right.......and 99.9 percent of the time we knew he was right.
The "In Loving Memory" card at the Harris Funeral Home in Liberty read just as if Tom wrote it himself. It stated, "I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one," and of course that's the way Tom was....a happy go lucky guy who loved to tell jokes and passed many jokes along to his e-mail buddies.
The card went on to say, "I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done," and that truly is the way Tom was because I've heard him say similar statements. "I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways, of Happy Times and laughing times and bright sunny days."
"I'd like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun, Of Happy memories that I leave when life is done," the card said..... and I'm sure Tom concluded when he passed on to his heavenly home.
Following the end of the 2006-2007 bowling season at Callicoon Lanes last March, where Tom bowled with the Sullivan County Democrat team including myself, John Hoffmann, John Fink and Bob Cady, Tom remarked that he would be taking this season off and would not be bowling so that he could address his health problems.
And he kept me and others very well informed via e-mail. He never skirted the medical problem he was facing. In early April he said, "Well the test results are back and it is confirmed that I do have cancer and I'm beginning my chemotherapy on April 14. He took time in May to wish me a belated happy birthday and kidded me by saying, "lemme see if my calculations are right you are 1 year older then Fred Flintstone and that makes me 5 years younger than you, I'm catching up dude."
I never owned a ranch but he always labeled me as "dude."
His positive approach to life and the battle with the cancer was terrific as he e-mailed in early May that "to all of you in the bowling community if things go well I will begin exercising and trying to gradually rebuilt some of the muscle I have lost over the months .....don't be surprised to see me back next year opening a can of Whoop Ass on some pins....and he joked by saying one of his favorite remarks, he he he (as in a laugh)."
Such a humble and caring man, even with this cancer he asked "please if ya gonna say a prayer for me also include others who are less fortunate than me in this case, thanks guys."
His attitude remained strong and in late June he e-mailed and noted that he had competed his fourth round of chemotherapy and that "so far the tumor on my neck has shrunk to a little bigger than a golf Ball so chemo is working....I'm winning the battle's.
Tom spoke about his attitude and reminded us that "my attitude is good.....I figure everyday that I wake up and greet a new day I have won a battle." He added, I figure this is the Lord's way of saying you worked hard all your life trying to be the rock for your family now it is time for me to relax and let my kids take over."
He jokingly said, "well let me say this....the only reason I can figure this is happening to me is I must have messed up Big Big Time in my younger years...maybe not enough beer or not enough Jack Daniels or quite possibly not enough Hard Partying."
He continued to offer great hope to his many bowling friends and family by saying that bowling was not entirely out of the question and if and when he got to the alley's he would be "razing the h__ out of you guys and of course cheering ya on."
Just don't know too many people who faced with what Tom was going through to offer his great sense of humor along with a powerful message for his bowling friends and family.
And yes folks.....Tom could really write and I often got great stories and tidbits from him as he offered and presented a great style and approach to writing. He was truly gifted with this talent. He said in an e-mail "to the poets keep up the good work, if I ever get back into a writing mode I just may surprise the heck outta all of ya...he he he he."
He remarked to me last year that one of the greatest thrills of his bowling career is that he was able to record 7 perfect career 300 games and that during the 2005-2006 season he accomplished the outstanding bowling feat of bowling four 300 games during this one bowling season.
Tom was a strong student of the game, he studied bowling balls and lane conditions and tried his best to match both of them with his bowling talents. He dedicated much of his life to this great sport, served as league officer, was on the board of the former Sullivan County Men's Bowling Association, was a member of the Tri-State NY USBC Association and was an inductee in the United States Bowling Congress Hall of Fame.
He remarked on many occasions about the special attention and instructions he always received from Pro Shop Operator and Master Instructor Mike Luongo who Tom called "the most knowledgeable ball driller and the best instructor in the world."
Skiff gave Regional Professional Bowling Association (PBA) a shot several years ago and learned as many told him that this was an entirely different world but he went into it to have some fun which he did.
His career high series was a 798 off single games of 250, 300, 248 bowled on December 2, 2005.
He started bowling at the age of 5 and completed over 30 plus years of bowling last year. He bowled until he was 17 and then returned to the game at the age of 32. He maintained a 200 plus average during the past several years at Kiamesha Lanes.
His dream in life was to own a bowling alley and he always noted that he wished his life soul mate, Joan Redington, would have kept ownership of the Colonial Inn Lanes in Jeffersonville, owned and operated for many years by Joan's parents, George and Joan Redington.
As I remarked to Joan the other day when she called me about Tom's death, "he is now with two people he loved very much (George and Joan Redington) and they are probably asking God about the steps they have to take to set up a bowling alley in Heaven."
This was the real Tom Skiff Jr. ..... once in a lifetime a nice guy like this comes along to bring great love and joy to our lives.
The Bowling Tip
By Mike Luongo
This tip is for all bowlers regardless of age or level of play.
So very often today bowlers find themselves off balance at the foul line.
While there are many reasons for this, what you may not realize is that most bad finishes are a result of a bad start.
The tip: Check your first step and see if it's too long. This will cause you to push the ball away too far and then your feet will have to play "catch up" to keep you from falling down.
Try a smaller first step next time......it may help.

He is also a Silver Level Coach with the USBC and is also the Northeast Regional Sales Manager with the Storm and Roto Grip Bowling Ball Company.

Ed's Outlook
Tri-County NY USBC Association Manager Michele Bensley is wanting to let league bowlers know that the association computer recently died and a new computer has been purchased but that the USBC Winlabs Program is not yet in total operation so she is far behind and about 30 leagues are waiting for processing. So if your looking for awards or membership cards if will probably be about 2-3 weeks....be patient while she is getting this program up and running.

Tom Skiff Jr. was a great friend and an outstanding league bowler and his death last Friday, October 31, will leave a void in every ones heart who knew him.
We and many others who associated with Tom in the "Bowling World" that he loved so much knew that at times he could be very stubborn and quite vocal in the various positions he took regarding bowling and the regulations that effect this sport.....and how passionate he was when defending the positions to took.
