Mr. Prenoveau was a local businessman in the community that he loved.  He owned and operated Palestine Bowling Center for many years.  He was a competitive bowler his entire life competing in numerous competitions on the local, state and national levels.  He also competed in tournaments in Montreal, Canada.  Not only was he a fantastic competitor but he also had a heart for teaching others good technique, bowling strikes, and love for the game. 

Mr. Prenoveau was a Baptist by faith and was baptized many years ago in Austin, Texas.  He loved the Lord and lived his life to one day live with Him in Heaven.  Mr. Prenoveau was loved by many and will be sorely missed, especially in the bowling community.
