Chuck Cahill, who had been working at Oak Forest Bowl in Oak Forest, Illinois, since he was a mere 14-years-old, recently retired after some 55 years working his way up to be the alley’s general manager.
Sadly, a fire destroyed the venue in 2023, though Cahill went on to manage Burr Oak Bowl in Blue Island, which was also owned by Keith Tadevich.
“It’s been a good ride,” Cahill told Patch. “You work at a place all those years, and you have a bunch of friendships. Anything that ever mattered in our family was done there – bridal showers, baby showers, anniversaries and big birthdays.”
Happy retirement, Mr. Oak Forest Bowl!
