CHICAGO – Chuck Pezzano of Clifton, N.J., a charter member of theProfessional Bowlers Association Hall of Fame and widely recognized as

the dean of bowling journalists, died Friday, January 23, 2015 of cardiac

arrest while undergoing a stent procedure St. Mary’s Hospital, Passaic, N.J.

He turned 86 on Jan. 14.

Since the formation of the PBA in 1958, no one has contributed more to

the organization in so many different ways than Pezzano, a founding mem-

ber of the organization.

Born in Paterson, N.J., in 1929, Pezzano lived his entire life in New Jersey.

After graduating from Rutgers University, he started his writing career with

the Paterson Morning Call in 1952 and continued writing for The Record in

Bergen County until his death, more than 60 years later. Over the years, he

contributed to more than 100 publications round the world and he authored

or co-authorized more than a dozen books about bowling.

Pezzano first became involved with the PBA as a top-flight competitor. He

was the first collegiate bowler in the United States to bowl an 800 series.

One of his proudest accomplishments as a bowler was joining his four sons

– Charles Jr., Craig, Curt and Clay – as the first father and four sons to bowl300 games.

But his legacy off the lanes far surpassed his credentials as a player as he evolved into the

most prolific bowling writer in history.

In the 1960s, Pezzano and fellow New Jersey entrepreneur/PBA Hall of Famer Frank

Esposito created the PBA Regional program, creating a close-to-home, affordable competi-

tion arena for thousands of would-be professional bowlers to develop their skills.

He was the first Meritorious Service inductee in the inaugural PBA Hall of Fame class in

1975, and later inducted into the American Bowling Congress (now the United States

Bowling Congress) and Bowling Writers Association of America Halls of Fame, among his

12 halls of fame and recently received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Metropolitan

Bowling Writers Association at the East Coast Bowling Centers Convention.

In addition to his prolific writing contributions, Pezzano was a television pioneer, working with hall of fame broadcasters Mel Allen, Chris Schenkel,

Jack Buck, Brent Musberger, Al Trautwig and others. He worked as a con-

sultant on television, movie and instructional videos, and traveled the country

serving as an emcee and guest speaker at hundreds of bowling functions.

Pezzano also was heavily involved in PBA business affairs, running the PBA

East Region for 20 years. He was secretary of the PBA Hall of Fame for near-

ly 20 years, and served as the organization’s official historian for longer than

that. He helped open the door for women bowling writers to join the previous-

ly all-male Bowling Writers Association of America (which later named its

scholarship program in his honor) and he was a lifelong advocate for high

school and collegiate bowling. He was actively involved in charitable fundrais-

ers, and worked closely with curator Bruce Pluckhahn in planning exhibits for

the “new” International Bowling Museum and Hall of Fame in St. Louis.

When the PBA dedicated its pressroom in his honor in 2011, Pezzano said,

“It was Will Rogers who noted that he never met a man he didn't like. I won't

go that far but I will say that I never met someone in bowling that I didn't like

something about.“Through bowling I have traveled more than three million miles, visited

every state, and places such as Las Vegas and Reno more than 150 times, delved into the histo-

ry of the sport, learning about the roles of women, minorities, bowling communications and

halls of fame. Writing, broadcasting, speaking, serving on special committees (18 hall of fame

committees) being involved in major innovations to and for the sport that provide endless fod-

der for all bowling involvements. The goal always is to just do everything a little better than it

has been done.”

Failing health had limited his travel in recent years, but Pezzano never stopped wanting to help.

“Chuck called me a week ago, still trying to help the PBA,” PBA Commissioner Tom Clark

said. “He’s an icon, prolific and multi-talented. There will never be another like him. He’ll be

greatly missed.”

2 SPORTS REPORTER February 4 - 10, 2015

An overwhelming winner in

balloting among his fellow com-

petitors and a panel of veteran

bowling journali sts over Mike

Fagan of Fort Worth, Texas, and

Ronnie Russell of Marion, Ind.,

Belmonte won three PBA Tour

titles in 2014 including back-to-

back majors in the Barbasol PBA

Tournament of Champions and

United States Bowling CongressMasters. He also won the

Oklahoma Open during the

Grand Casino Resort Summer

Swing, and led the PBA Tour in

earnings ($163,788), average

(226.71) and competition points

(136,454).

He is the only two-handed play-

er to win the PBA Player of the

Year award. He joined

Venezuela’s Amleto Monacelli

(1989 and ’90) as the second

international player to win PBA

Player of the Year honors in back-

to-back years, and he joined

Monacelli and Finland’s Mika

Koivuniemi as the third foreign-

born player to win PBA’s highest

annual honor. Belmonte is the

sixth player to win the POY

award in consecutive years.

Walter Ray Williams Jr., Earl

Anthony (twice) and Mark Roth

all won the honor three years in a

row.

During the 2014 season,

Belmonte defeated Wes Malott of

Pflugerville, Texas, with a strike

on his last shot to win the

Barbasol PBA Tournament of

Champions by a single pin in

January at Thunderbowl Lanes inAllen Park, Mich., 219-218. A

month later, he defeated top qual-

ifier EJ Tackett of Huntingon,

Ind., 221-177, to become the

third player to win back-to-back

Masters titles, joining Hall of

Famers Billy Welu (1964 and

1965) and Dick Hoover (1956

and 1957) in that exclusive club.

The 31-year-old Australian then

won four straight matches on a

demanding Bear lane condition to

win the Oklahoma Open, defeat-

ing Tackett in the title match,

193-145, for his 10th career title.

“The PBA boasts the best

bowle rs in the world and we

aspire to be the best of the best,”

Belmonte said. “To be standing

here, holding this award again, is

very special.

“I don’t put myself in the cate-

gory of the other guys who have

won Player of the Year back-to-

back,” he added, “but one day I

hope I can join that elite group.

“I also want to thank the

haters,” Belmonte said of those

who criticize his two-handed

style. “It seems like the more you

hate, the better I bowl, so keep itup.”

Kent, one of the Tour’s top

young stars at age 23, won the

Saudi Arabia Kingdom

International Open in December

for first PBA Tour title. He

defeated Sweden’s Martin

Larsen, 257-206, in champi-

onship match. Prior to joining the

PBA in the summer of 2014, Kent

won the Brunswick Euro

Challenge in Munich, Germany,

as an amateur.

Kent, a former collegiate star at

Robert Morris-Illinois University,

also finished fourth in the Badger

Open, his first television appear-

ance as a PBA member, losing to

Brian Valenta in the second

stepladder match, 236-165. He

dominated PBA rookies for the

season, earning $32,528 and

averaging 217.03 in only a half

season as a professional.

“(Winning Rookie of the Year)

was the main goal when I joined

and to be able to accomplish that

feels great,” Kent said. “It’s an

honor and a privilege, and to get

my first title, too, makes it even

better. It was just in time for me

to bowl in the 50th anniversary

PBA Tournament of Champions.”

Also during the Xtra Frame

webcast, PBA awarded its presti-

gious Steve Nagy Sportsmanship

Award, selected by PBA Tour

players , to Bren t Spangler of

Niles, Ohio . The 33-year-old,

nine-year PBA member has

gained the respect and admiration

of his fellow competitors not only

on the lanes, but for his help as arepresentative for MOTIV bowl-

ing balls.

“Winning (the Nagy award)

was a surprise. Actually, being

nominated was a surprise,”

Spangler said. “I’ve worked real-

ly hard on my physical game in

order to become competitive, but

the thing I really wanted to do

when I came out on tour was to

exemplify the principles I believe

in – being nice to other people,

earning respect, that kind of

thing. I guess at least some peo-

ple took notice.”

In Nagy voting among PBA

Tour players, Ronnie Russell of

Marion, Ind., and four-time Nagy

winner Parker Bohn III of

Jackson, N.J., tied for second

place behind Spangler.

Established in 1966, the Steve

Nagy Spor tsmanship Award is

named after the late PBA Hall of

Famer and founding members of

the PBA. A colorful and talented

performer, Nagy made such an

impact on his fellow pros that the

award was established shortly

after his death.

Parkin, a three-time PBA

Regional titlist, earned the second

Tony Reyes Award which recog-

nizes a PBA member for out-

standing community service,

charitable and/or educational

contributions over the course of a

PBA Tour season. The first

woman to join the PBA when the

opportunity became available in

2004, Parkin was recognized

largely for her work in organizing

the Baby Reesa Foundationfundraiser which supports fami-

lies with children born with

Krabbe Disease and has raised

more than $20,000.

Parkin is a staunch supporter of

the sport, serving as a volunteer

USA Bowling and Junior Gold

instructor. She regularly donates

her time organizing other charity

bowling tournaments. She also

prov ides autographed jerseys,

bowling balls and photos that are

auctioned for charities such as

BVL, Ronald McDonald

Foundation, Susan G. Komen for

the Cure, and Junior Diabetes

Research Foundation (JDRF).

”I’m very surprised,” Parkin

said. “Just the fact that the award

is named after Tony makes it very

special. He was a special guy. His

smile would light up any room he

walked into. To receive an award

named for him is such an honor.”

The Reyes award is named after

the popular PBA Tour titlist who

died in September 2012 of

injuries sustained in a traffic acci-

dent near his home in San Bruno,

Calif. Parker Bohn III was the

first Tony Reyes award recipient

in 2014.
