    I had the pleasure of meeting Michael several times over the years, and purchasing his seats many times. I always felt bad that he didn't get to attend more games in person (especially in the last two years with his illness). He was a great member of this board, and one of the biggest trailblazer fans I have ever met. His wife, Karla, is a very nice person as well as many on this board know - she was always willing to meet up to do a ticket exchange on those nights when Michael couldn't attend due to his extended illness. He will be missed.

    Oh man, this is sad news. I didn't know him personally, but he seemed like a really pleasant person. R.I.P. MGB

    Even though I didn't know him personally, we were connected as Blazer fans. He was a thoughtful contributor to this forum - one who I enjoyed reading. RIP bruddah - see you on the other side.

    Prayers to his family. My father has a terminal disease and has very little time left. I know what they have gone through.

    Didn't notice this until after I watched the replay. Instantly not annoyed about the loss anymore. RIP MGB.
