    Russ Johnston, 1930 – 2023

    Russ Johnston

    Sadly, in June of 2023, our close bowling community of family and friends lost one of its very best…Russ Johnston. Russ was well known for being the one to get you to sign up in leagues and also be a part of some of the largest contingencies of Santa Barbara bowlers for local, state and national tournaments, as well as Harry Grants Tourney in Encino and the popular Pismo Singles at Pismo Bowl with a busload of bowlers to head out to eat as a huge group afterwards.

    At San Marcos Lanes he hosted the highly popular Holiday Doubles Tournament attracting bowlers far and wide.

    There’ll never be another one like him…

    Our heartfelt thanks, Russ, for everything you did for all of us throughout the years…

    We’ll never forget you.
