E. (Hurd) and Otto L. Saunier Sr. He attended Duquesne University for two
years. He was active in R.O.T.C. and the Air National Guard for four years.
He was president of Greater Pittsburgh Ten Pin Bowling Association and
ABC (American Bowling Congress). He bowled in 27 national bowling tours
throughout America. His memberships included: B.P.O.E. #339 of the North
Side, Pittsburgh, Universal Moose in Penn Hills, and was an active member
and past board of directors for the National Association of Independent
Re-Surfacer (N.A.I.R.). Mr. Saunier was the owner and operator of All American
Bowling Equipment Co. The origin of All American Bowling Equipment Co.
began in France in 1892. Alphonse Saunier installed one of the first bowling
lanes in France. He moved to the U.S.A. in 1901. In that same year, he
began installing lanes for Brunswick Balke Collender and for himself, under
the name of Saunier Contracting. In 1920, he founded the company known
as Saunier Wilhem. After he passed away in 1928, his wife, Elizabeth, sold
the company to the Wilhem family. This company is still in existence today.
Alphonse's son, Otto Sr., who had worked with his father formed his own
company with his brothers under the name of the Saunier Brothers. This
company operated for several years before Otto Sr. went out on his own
under the name of Otto Saunier Contracting. He installed and refinished
bowling lanes until 1946. In that year, Otto Saunier Sr. formed All American
Bowling Equipment Co. His son, Otto Jr., joined him in the business in
1949 at the age of 11. The two worked together until Otto Sr. passed away
in 1979. In 1981, Otto Jr. took over control of the company from his mother,
Mabel. Today, Otto Jr., 61 years of age, had 50 years of experience in
the bowling business. Like his father before him, Otto Jr. had also been
blessed with a son. Brian, who is 37 years old, is the fourth generation
in the business. Like his father, Brian worked with the company from an
early age. He currently has over 23 years in the business. With the ever
changing complexity of the bowling business, Brian has had the opportunity
to travel the world installing lanes, pinsetters and automatic scoring.
In recent months, he has traveled to Japan, Israel, Mexico, India, Cuba
and Turkey. Currently, All American Bowling is not only doing installations
for themselves, they are a major installer for AMF Bowling Inc. From our
lengthy experience, All American Bowling Equipment Co. is here today to
serve you and will be here tomorrow to assist all bowling centers worldwide.
Mr. Saunier is survived by his wife, CarolAnn Davis Saunier; his two children,
Brian and his wife, Lynn Saunier, of Clinton, and Beth and her husband,
Bernie Herrmann, of Cranberry; a sister, Patricia Wall of Colorado; and
also, eight grandchildren and several nieces and nephews. Visitation Thursday
