Sad moment

[KnuckleHead]

What a sad moment this is.

It took 62-year old Don Doane decades to bowl his first ever perfect game.

Moments after he finally did it, he collapsed and died.

It happened October 16 at Ravenna Bowl. Doane had just bowled his final strike and was being congratulated by friends when he collapsed and died of an apparent heart attack.

Sad yes, but I suppose at least he went out on a high and was absolutely stoked when he died. Better than being all miserable I guess.
Just sad that he didn't get a chance to sit back and take in his achievement.
Couldn't think of a better way to bow out personally, either that or 'on the job' lol.

What a truely remarkable story and as Tiger said "At least he went out on a high"

It is sad that he couldn't enjoy the moment, but in all honesty he would've enjoyed the moment when the pins fell and gave him that perfect game he's strived so hard towards...

Our thoughts are with his family and friends
