[2] After devastating heartbreak following the loss of his first wife Sharon during childbirth in 1981,[3] he won his first title in 1985, and would win a second later that season.
He then won his only career major on the regular PBA Tour later that season at the 1991 Firestone Tournament of Champions, when he was living in nearby Vidor, Texas.
The televised finals for this Tournament of Champions was delayed 40 minutes due to a bomb threat, which turned out to be a hoax.
Ozio's 11th and final PBA Tour win was on October 28 – November 1, 1995 in the AMF Dick Weber Classic at the Arthur Ashe Center in Richmond, Virginia,[6] where he broke the TV record for four-game pinfall with 1,070 pins, topping the mark of 1,050 set in 1984 by Nelson Burton Jr.
The record would stand only one year, however, as it was shattered by Bob Learn Jr.'s 1,129 four-game total in an April 6, 1996 Erie, Pennsylvania event.
