The local bowling world lost one of its favorite and very likeable bowlers in Russell Hebert. Russell lost his battle with cancer late Sunday evening on March 20th. Russell leaves behind two daughters, Amy and Angie as well as a host of relatives. Russell bowled for over 45 years and was member of various bowling associations which included Orange Bowl, Port Arthur Bowl, Park Central (The Max) and Crossroads.
In the eyes of longtime friend Skipper Arsenault, “He was a great bowler but above all else a wonderful friend to all. He had a one of a kind personality that would light up a room. He will be greatly missed”.
Courtesy of bowl.com, here are some stats on Russell dating back to 2001. Russell averaged 212, shot ten (10) 300 games and two (2) 800 series. Russell you will be missed by all. Rest in peace my friend.
Now for a bit of the weekly stuff, come on it won’t hurt…
