Todd Lawrence Nowak

Todd Lawrence Nowak, age 52, of Toledo, Ohio passed away peacefully surrounded by his four favorite girls on August 1, 2023 at Cleveland Clinic. He was born to Mary Nowak and Larry (Lisa) Nowak on December 20, 1970 in Toledo. Todd worked as a bowling alley mechanic for Ottawa Lanes for ten years before running Bowlero Lanes, where he took great pride in the care of the lanes ensuring each bowler had a fair shot. He then went on to be the quality manager with Mobis North America in both Toledo and Detroit for 18 years. Todd was an avid bowler from the age of 10, holding many 300 rings. He also enjoyed playing golf and softball. He loved nothing more than being on the field. His love of coaching started with his daughters in various sports, and then he took that love and went on to coach with the Wizards Softball Organization. He was a dedicated Pittsburg Steelers and Ohio State Buckeye fan. Todd was extremely laid back and easy going with a sense of humor that could fill any room with endless laughter, he was truly one of a kind.
