    Would have to agree with Schonz, most popular Blazer, as a person, ever.

    RIP big guy.

    Can we point the camera at HCP's house so we can see who's coming and going?

    Never thought anything Blazer related could hurt more than 2000 WCF. I guess I was wrong.

    This. I wasn't sure I was going to, and then seeing the responses....

    RIP Mercy.

    This one stings more than Duck or Luke. We all knew Duck was extremely overweight, and Luke had been battling an illness for a long time. Their passing hurt, but this was completely out of the blue and it claimed someone that went before his time. It's extremely ironic and sad that a meniscus surgery ultimately led to his early passing.

    Probably for the best. Unsurprisingly, Terry just couldn't keep it together.

    I wouldn't be able to keep it together either. My employees seeing me cry probably wouldn't be the best management technique.

    Thank you very much.

    Wow. I mean, that was heart wrenching. I teared up for sure. I didn't get to see Jerome play nearly as much as others on here, but I got to see him do a lot of work in the community, and I mean A LOT... And I would say he shined just as much than as on the court.

    The last comments from Schonz were amazing.

    I think every Blazer fan should watch it.

    I just can't even watch TP talk about this right now. I saw the two of them together not more than a week ago. Friends until the end.
