Duane Ira Deem
Hall of Fame, Class of 2008
Mr. Duane Ira Deem has waited patiently for the honor of being a member
of the West Virginia USBC Bowling Association Hall of Fame. Duane was
born in Parkersburg on August 9, 1956. He began his bowling career in
the late 60's.
Some of his bowling accomplishments include over thirty-five perfect
games, as well as, multiple 800 series. He was a member of 5 WV State
Championship Teams and twice he won the WV State Singles title. He has
also won the WV State Doubles and All Events titles twice. He has won
numerous Parkersburg Championship titles.
Duane is know throughout the Mid Ohio Valley area and the State of West
Virginia for his bowling skills and achievements. His love for the sport
has allowed him to help many bowlers improve their skills, whether it
was through his donation of time as a youth coach for many years, or
personal individual assistance.
He had bowled in many tournaments over the years, and if Duane was in
the tournament, he was a threat to win that tournament. Other bowlers
often said " If I want to win this tournament, Duane Deem is one
bowler that I will have to beat.".
Congratulations Duane, a high honor, certainly deserved.
