UPDATES FROM USBC AS IT RELATES TO LEAGUES AND TOURNAMENTS AMID CONCERNS ABOUT COVID 19

On behalf of the Essex County USBC BA, I would like to send my deepest condolences to the Johnson family, with the sudden passing of Rudy Johnson.
As a child, Rudy grew up bowling at Bell Clair lanes on Bloomfield avenue in Montclair. Rudy would spend countless hours perfecting his craft of bowling as well as achieving high accolades on the basketball court, from Nishuane park in Montclair, all the way to the Collegiate level. His determination and persistence on the lanes would later earn him 11 tournament championships, an Induction into the Essex County Hall Of Fame, as well as various record breaking achievements, including shooting a series of 878, which is the highest sanctioned series in Essex County for the 21st century to date, shot at Eagle Rock, on lanes 25-26 in 2005.
Later on in life, Rudy did not bowl nearly as often as he once did, due to a severe medical situation with both of his knees, however he still manged to enjoy the sport he always loved, in the Essex County Police league on monday nights at Eagle Rock with teammates, Missy Brown, Derek Hopson, Al gaines, and Brian McAdams.
Through his journey, Rudy has made a positive impact on many of our lives, and always motivated, and inspired us to be the best people we can be, on and off the lanes, every day we rise; because tomorrow is never promised...

Rest in peace, to an Essex County Legend, and a wonderful human being; Rudolph Johnson🙏

We love you brother❤

Marcus, and all of us at ECUSBC
