The 1st Annual Tom Skiff Jr. Memorial "Bowl For A Cure" doubles tournament held on May 9 at Kiamesha Lanes showed loving support for a man who engulfed the sport and made it an important part of his and so many other people's lives.
As everyone who knew and loved Tom Skiff Jr. we know that he left us early in life and the purpose of this tournament was to help fund cancer research in his memory.
A lot of dedicated work was put into getting this tournament started by Gillian Champagne-Kuchar who also announced that she has created a myspace page for Bowling For A Cure, called, www.myspace.com/bowl4acure and there is also an email address called bowl4acure@gmail.com
Tom achieved greatness on the local level of bowling when he accomplished the outstanding bowling feat of bowling four 300 games during the 2005-06 bowling season. A great student of the game, he studies bowling balls and lane conditions and tried his best to match both of them with his bowling talents.
Tom Skiff Jr. dedicated much of his life to this great sport, served as a 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.
Tournament participants on May 9 enjoyed the competition and the overall bowling comradery with Tom's life soul mate Joan Redington, their two sons, Thomas Skiff III and Gregg Skiff and Tom's mother Olive Stone.
Gift certificates raffled off were donated by Brother Bruno's, Monticello Greenhouse, Eva's Place, Sports Nuts, Monticello Car Wash, Giavanni's and Dutch's.
Individual game 1st place winners were Bob and Barbara Cady in the first game, John Hoffmann and Larry Berens in the second game and Greg Kuchar and Cathy Carpenter in the third game.
Funds raised will be donated to the American Cancer Society who are having a fund raiser June 6 at the Sullivan County Community College.
