Thomas "Bris" Brisbon

[F.O.X]

Today marks the passing to a gentelman that has been around bowling for a long time.

 

His first passion was golf and enjoyed it as much as he could. He took on bowling as a "substitute" to his golf and has helped all those that he felt that he could help.

 

"Bris" was my second father, my bowling coach and most of all one of my best friends.

 

There will be no one like "Bris".

 

I will miss him dearly.

Well today is August 27.......

 2 years ago a friend of mine past away and I was devasted by his passing. He had gone to another realm where I can't see him or talk to him.  At least I feel better than he's not in pain or suffering anymore.

 

Miss you Bris......

Well Bris,

 

It's been awhile since I've posted.  I guess my love for bowling has been tarnished a bit from the recklessness that now takes place in the so called "sport".

 

If you were to see some of the conditions now, you'd get a good laugh. Yes, I know you're right. I have enough ability and equipment to adjust, but what's out there is just ridicoulos at times.

 

I'm even throwing a plastic taboo spare ball at times because the shots are so silly.  My only problem, I'm a little speed dominate and that makes me miss the head pin at times. Yet, when I throw it good the plastic hits like a bomb.

 

Nonetheless, I still try to bowl even though at times I'm truly disgusted on what we're bowling on. It's truly a joke. This is the only "sport" you don't have to be good to score well. What a mirage.....

 

Enough with the venting....just letting you know I haven't forgotten you. I miss you and will always miss your words of encouragement.

 

I'll get it together again.... just for you.

Hey Bris,

Wanted to let you know I haven't forgotten you.

I've been a lttle busy with life and all it's drama. Yet, in the end things will turn out fine. Just want to let you know that you are always with me.

You may not be physically here with me, but you're always at my side.

Love you.

I said farewell to my buddy Bris today.

 

As much as I wanted to get up and talk about how he made a difference in my life , I couldn't.  I was fighting back my tears and my loss. I knew if I got out one syllable I would have been lucky. 

 

 Even as I type right now it's hard to accept that he's not here with me anymore. Yet, I'm glad he's not hurting anymore.  I'd rather remember him enjoying himself.

 

 I'm going to miss his laugh, his glasses half cocked on his face when he wore them. I going to miss his debates we'd get into where we would be mad at each other and buddies gain in a few hours or days depending on who was more stubborn. I'm going to miss the man that brought bowling into a different perspective for me and taught some things that you should know to try to excel at it. I'm going to miss him coaching me through my mistakes when I would bowl. I going to miss him. I'm going to miss him. I'm going to miss him.

 

Bris may be gone from here physically, but he lives with me in my heart and almost every ball I throw. Every achievement I've had since our friendship, Bris is a part of it. It just hurts right now that he's gone......

 

GOD take care of Bris, "Sloan" and Jermaine (Woodruff).  I miss all of them. I was fortunate enough to have them in my life and I know  in YOUR care they will be fine.

GOD , please watch over all of us......

 

Take care Bris......
