The outpouring of condolences from the sports/NBA world over the past few days is a testament to how much people loved and respected Chuck. There's a billboard about Chuck on US-23 North that caught my eye on the way home this evening. It said, "He turned boys into men and men into Bad Boys".Malcolmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065814455731328574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9045071721348918138.post-37308264456575382882009-05-12T21:24:00.000-05:002009-05-12T21:24:00.000-05:00Hey Dell, Yeah I loved that era of basketball for ...Hey Dell, Yeah I loved that era of basketball for sure.

I can imagine what their championship years meant fo you, and how Daly's passing kinda closes a fond chapter of your life. <br /><br />Speaking of Michigan sports, it was sad to lose the Bird too, a few weeks back.X.
