To still be actively involved in sport at that age is outstanding.
Last week, the Tauranga South Bowling Club farewelled club stalwart Tom Piercy, who died at home on
Monday.
Club president Peter Joyce said Piercy was much loved by everyone at the club.
"He was a very gentlemanly man, very softly spoken but very popular," Joyce said.
"He joined us in about the year 2000 from memory and until two or three years ago he would ride his bike from home in Greerton all the way to the bowling club. The last few years he had a mobility scooter."
