Bill’s wife, Barbara Chrisman shared a post on fb on the death of her husband:
I’m devastated by the passing of the love of my life. 52 years being my soulmate. There will be no autopsy. Bill had atrial fibrillation and his heart either when into a deadly arrhythmia but most likely he formed a blood cot in his legs that broke loose and went to his heart or brain. It was quick and he did not suffer. Thank you to so many who have wished me condolences. We will announce when we will have a small local memorial sevice and then later a large celebration of life.
For over three decades, Bill and Barbara Chrisman, as co-founders of Storm Products, Inc., made significant contributions to the bowling world. Their leadership and vision benefited not only Storm but also the entire bowling industry. They sponsored numerous bowlers and tournaments globally, raising funds and awareness for breast cancer research through events like the USBC Senior Queens and the PBA/PWBA Striking Against Breast Cancer Mixed Doubles.
Bill Chrisman’s impact extended beyond Storm; he was a key figure in the Ogden (Utah) Bowling Association for ten years, serving as a director from 1981 to 1989. His exceptional contributions were recognized in 1994, and he was later inducted into the Utah State USBC Hall of Fame in 2005.
The bowling community will forever remember Bill Chrisman as a fearless and dedicated leader, whose legacy will continue to inspire future generations of bowlers worldwide.
