If the Bulls do, you would be complaining to much to ever hear it.


NBA fan logic we need to trade one of two best players because (Player X) one needs to shine more.

Very sad day. He will always be remembered here in the Real GM community. I never interacted with him personally but always enjoyed reading his posts. This guy knew his basketball and was always respectable to everyone that he spoke with.

My condolences go out to his family and dearest friends. He may be gone but will never be forgotten. RIP Tommy Udo.

RIP this was very sad and shocking news.

People may also recognize the name bulls6, that was his former nick. He was a regular poster and mod for I believe my entire tenure, had a great memory, and in public posting can't recall him ever losing his cool.

I've been lucky as a Bulls fan to find a forum that was both busy and had great moderating for, wow, coming up to a decade now. Bulls6 was certainly a poster boy for that stability.

As is often the case, you wish he could know what he meant before he left. :(

Wasn't Tommy a contributor to the boxing threads on the Knicks forums?

Nice guy... great avatar. RIP.

I didn't know him that well but it's still sad to see such a great contributor to the boards pass.

My prayers & condolences go out to his family.

I posted this on the Bulls board:

Some of you may want to know more information about George's forthcoming obit, the upcoming ceremony, and means of leaving memories or a memorial. The following info comes indirectly from George's brother, and is relayed by one of George's friends with whom he did a lot of volunteer work:

http://main.acsevents.org/goto/george.zieman

George's birthday would have been September 14. He would have been 62. There will be an obituary in Sunday's (September 16th) Chicago Tribune. There will be a viewing of the body at the Ewald-Barlock Funeral Home (http://www.ewaldbarlockfuneralhome.com/) in Chicago on Monday (September 17th) and the burial will be on Tuesday (September 18th). Apparently the funeral home will soon have a web page where comments can be left honoring George.

The link above also tells how to make a charitable donation, in honor of George, to an organization for which he spent many hours volunteering. That's for any who feel moved in that way. Some people in the Chicago area may even want to attend the viewing in person. Whatever seems right.

He was a welcome addition for sure in the NYK boards. Very objective, informative, and it was a pleasure to read any of his posts.

He will be missed. :(

That´s very sad news. I´m mostly a lurker, and while my account is not that old, I´ve been visiting realgm for at least 5 years, almost daily. Tommy was one of those guys that you don´t want to miss any post from, very knowledgeable and was always nice to everyone.

RIP TU6
Constantly underwhelmed by the Bulls.
