  • Tenpin Slants By: Joe Lyou
    Tenpin Slants By: Joe Lyou It must be getting a little crowded at the Big Bowling Center in the Sky. In my last column, I wrote about the passing of Dick Stoeffler, a Southern Califor- nia bowling pioneer whom I knew for almost four decades. Ol’ Steff died on Jan. 14 at his home in Las Vegas after a seven-year battle with cancer. I had written that it was a three-year battle, but Steff’s son, Mike, assured me that it was seven. Just one week after Stoeffler left us, I learned that Duke McGrew, another well- known Southland bowling personality, had died. His death was so sudden that it shocked his many friends. Duke’s wife, Helen, said he had complained of pain, so she insisted that he see a doctor. After a series of medical procedures, Duke was diagnosed with lung cancer. He was to undergo treatments but died before they could be started. “He went to sleep and never woke up,” said Helen, his wife of 56 years. They were an ideal couple, according to USBC Hall of Famer Andy Marzich, who was a longtime friend of both Duke and Helen. Marzich added: “In all the time I knew Duke, I never saw him mad once. He was a great guy.” Duke, who was 84—although he looked 20 years younger—had many friends, including Dick Stoeffler. They had much in common. Both had a keen sense of humor. Both were excellent bowlers. Both were mem- bers of the SoCal Hall of Fame. Both produced successful local TV bowling shows.
