    Terrible news. I got to sit in his seats once. He was a great guy and a great fan.

    Well, at least the Blazers' hot start hopefully gave him some joy at the end - condolences to those who knew him.

    He had the honor of meeting MGB a few years back. What a true gentleman. He will be missed.

    RIP

    Am I alone in thinking it would be kinda cool to have a sportstwo contingent at his memorial? I don't know about you guys, but I feel like this online community is just as legit as coworkers, church members, etc.

    Very sad news.

    It would be great if we could get the Blazers to mention him at the game tonight.

    I didn't know him at all, and it makes me sad that I didn't with all the kind words being said. It would be great if MB and MR could mention it tonight during the game, and the Blazers could pull out a win for him tonight... and for the rest of the season for that matter. God Bless him and his family. :(

    He was a season ticket holder, so it would be nice if they could mention him and throw a picture up on the jumbo tron.
