    Off the top of my head, those in attendance
    A ton of former team staff
    Michael Holton
    Joe Cronin like Sly said
    Darnell Valentine
    A bunch of local news anchors whose name I forgot
    Kenny Vance
    Joe Becker
    Adam Bjornson
    Current Blazers Brass
    Sports announcers that had either worked with Wheels or were close friends like Rich Burke and Mike Parker, and Rob Closs
    Former team trainer Bobby Medina
    A few former players from the 80s like Terry Porter and Michael Harper.
    Radio guys like Producer Rich Patterson and Jay Allen
    Catching up with Mike Barrett was great.
    He even mentioned it looked like I took OFF some weight in the offseason, which made my day, HA!
    tons of staff that’s no longer with the team like I mentioned.
    Calabro was great, as was Antonio Harvey

    Team definitely didn’t have to put that together for him, very kind gesture.

    Did you whisper sweet nothings into MB's ear for us?

    I thought I saw Medina in the picture. Kingspeed would have been so excited.

    Thank you for sharing. I’m sure it goes without question that you gave our heartfelt condolences and love to Wheeler’s family and loved ones.
    Thank you for representing all of us here.

    RIP Wheels

    Chad Doing(sp?) was there and noted on the radio that Antonio broke down and it was a sad moment. He also gave some backstory to some of Wheels struggles with his love of food and battle with his weight.
    I too love food and am no longer able to eat what I want most of the time. It’s a real struggle. I feel for Wheels struggles. I hope he is in buffet heaven eating anything and everything he wants without a second thought.

    How about the guy who hired him to replace Schonz? Was Bob Whitsitt invited?

    Thanks for the list I requested, HCP.
