The Windsor-Essex Chatham-Kent Bowling Association lost a board member, Dan Rose, who left us way too soon, at the age of 56. Dan has been a member of WECKBA/ECJBA for approximately 50 years. The local board would like to recognize his accomplishments and all the work he did to promote the sport of bowling.

Dan was very immersed in the youth bowling program over the years.

•  Youth Program coach for 34 years
•  Secretary of Youth program
•  Coach in Youth program
•  CTF Coach Canada Instructor for 6 years
•  CTF Master Learning Facilitator for 6 years
•  CTF International Youth Coach for 1 year
•  Sat on the Canadian Youth Championship Tournament board for 5 years
• Involved in the development of the Introduction to Competition coaching program for 6 years
• Canadian Youth Championship – Southern Ontario Youth Team Coach for 5 years

Dan represented Ontario on the CTF National Board for 2 years and on the CTF Youth Committee for 3 years.Not only was Dan heavily involved in youth bowling and at the national level, he was a WECKBA Director for the past 4 years. As a board member he worked on the following committees: Tournament, Legislative, Banquet, Inspection, Membership Awards and Youth.

Dan held league executive positions as Secretary for 5 years and President for 4 years.

Dan was very forthright in everything he did. While working with him on the local board it was clear to see that he had important goals in bowling that he was hoping to accomplish.

Dan had many other accomplishments including, 13 years of service on the Kingsville North Fire Department, 32 years at Chryslers and starting his own business as a First Aid Instructor. Dan loved his family, his bowling, camping, hockey, and fishing. He will be dearly missed by the bowling community at the local, national, and international levels.
