I really loved Bill. What a great all around human being. I pray his family and friends find solace in the tremendous impact he had on so many lives. Rest in peace, Big Red.

R.I.P

Needless to say a great player, whose teams won championships whenever he was able to play.

Oh wow. I didn't know he was sick. That's too bad. He was a great supporter of the Blazers. Won't forget the 1976-77 championship or him wearing a Blazers jacket at the 50 greatest players ceremony.

I loved watching Walton and Steve 'Snapper" Jones broadcast games together. It was so comical.

My wife and I are in our truck, named Big Red, for you know who.

RIP legend.

I was a teenager in 1977 and remember the finals that year and how he, in particular, just dominated. Then I "hated" him when he ended up in Boston. When healthy, he was dominating and smart. He was a real character. 71 is so young these days. RIP.

Condolences to his friends and family

And borrowing an old Irish saying.
May he be in Heaven an hour before the devil even knows he is dead.

Rip to the Blazers goat in my eyes. This one hurts

The parting glass for Bill.

RIP

I never got to watch him as a player, but I loved him as a broadcaster, seemed like a truly genuine and kind person.

One of a kind
