My father was one of the greatest professional bowlers of all time. Seriously. Billy Hardwick: PBA Hall of Fame, Player of the Year in '63 and '69, and the first winner of the triple crown of bowling, among other things.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My dad was a great dad.
I would say I am an ordinary bowler but one with a really big heart, and that's what has stood me in good stead in all these years.
I went to the Hall of Fame with my dad. I can't say I really remember too much about it.
My father is an amazing person.
My father was my teacher. But most importantly he was a great dad.
My father was one tough man.
Being with all those great bowlers was the greatest three days I ever had.
My dad was my hero when I was a young boy. And then it's a toss-up between Han Solo, the New Zealand All Blacks Rugby team, and Marlon Brando.
My father was an all-American football player.
My father was a coal hewer from Goldthorpe, a coal-mining village in South Yorkshire. He played for the Yorkshire second team as an opening fast bowler - to me he was a gorgeously heroic man. He helped form a union and closed down the Barnsley seam because it was seeping gas, and saved many, many lives.
