I knew him well we ran around Vegas every night when I first moved there for 2-3 months, he was winning alot of bar tournments-I didnt win any , he was a great bowler too, he had the highest average of anyone at the Gold Coast-we walked in there one night and people were all over him like Efren, I coulndt figure out why, so I asked some guy and he showed me the sheet and he was the top bowler in the bowling alley, I thought he was just a pool player. He said he only bowled once a week because everyone would buy him beers-they bought me all the beer I wanted too, he bowled something like a 650 series that night. He was the bowlers hero. Everything he did he did well. I havent spoke to him in years, I was hopeing to meet up with him we had- alot of good times, RIP Rude Dog.
he showed me around Vegas when I first got to town, we hung out 6 nights a week, man this hurts, i'm 40 also, we got along so good, i remember the first time I saw him play in Hardtimes with a Rude Dog tee shirt on, I went up to Sacramento and and kept refering to this guy with a Rude Dog shirt on for about a year, until I heard the name caught on-I didnt start the name I just thought it was a funny coincidence-when the name fits, but he was nothing but nice to me, from the first time we met.
