Speaking of missing bowlers, can anyone out there tell me what in the heck happened to a bowler named Randy Johnson. Randy was tall, slim ,dark hair, slight mustache and was from Webster Groves and used to win everything he entered in St. Louis area. Went on the tour in 85 and cashed several times and placed second on a telecast that was won by Del Ballard. Then BOOM! Never heard from him or saw him again.
Anyone know what happened to him?
BTW, he threw straight and hard and if you would had ever saw him bowl, you would've never forgot it. He had more revs than any bowler alive and I mean no one straped the ball like he did.
Last saw him was when I was on the tour in TX in 86 and never saw him again. It was like he vanised. Soon thereafter, I quit the tour and returned to CA

It's been about 12yrs now since he committed suicide.. Great guy.. Best bowler I'd ever watched.. Raw power and accuracy. He used to live a couple of blocks from me and had showed me some newspaper clips from his St. Louis days. Told me that Pete Weber would never bowl against him back then lol
