Remembering Bobby

It is with a heavy heart that we share the passing of Robert “Bobby” Hiraoka on May 13, 2023. Bobby was a beloved son, grandson, brother, nephew, cousin, godfather, uncle, and friend. He impacted the lives of many throughout his 34 years of life and will be greatly missed. Although taken from us too soon, his memory will live on through those he touched with his personality and wit.

Bobby was a pillar of the bowling community, a fierce competitor on the lanes, and a respected ambassador of the sport. His reach through the community was wide, not only as a bowler, but as a tournament director and a huge supporter of the youth. His presence was felt everywhere he went.
