CHICAGO – Chuck Pezzano of Clifton, N.J., a charter member of the
Professional 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 bowl
300 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 journalists 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 Congress
Masters. 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 in
Allen 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
bowlers 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 it
up.”
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 Brent 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 a
representative 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 Sportsmanship 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 Foundation
fundraiser 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
provides 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.
