[riverman]

I'm crushed! RIP big guy! Way too young at 62...I loved his call...BATUMSHAKALAKA! Wheels, you were top shelf!

 

[julius]

Shit, these Wheels highlights are harder to listen to than I thought they'd be.

 

[Quatro44]

RIP Wheels, you will be missed.

 

[riverman]

THAT VOODOO THAT YOU DO!!!

 

[wizenheimer]

for old-timers like me he was never going to replace or match Schonley. But he came closer that I would have guessed

RIP

Agreed. It was always an unfair comparison. But aside from the Schonz, there is none other I'd prefer.

 

[Stevenson]

Man I loved Wheels.

We were in Sacramento at the same time, he moved up here a year before I did. Back in Sac he had the best afternoon radio show, Wheels After Work. Like the way he called a game, the show was fun. He was simply great at what he did, and he gave me much joy and entertainment over the years. Never met him, but I sure feel like I knew him well.

Rest in peace old pal!

My experience with Wheels:

 

[beast blazer]

I had always hoped he'd get healthy and come back. He and Schonz were 1A and 1B.

Tonight you dine in Valhalla Wheels.

 

[Chris Craig]

Can't believe it. The golden voice himself is gone, far too early. Another Blazers legend down. RIP.

 

[e_blazer]

Man, what a bummer. RIP, Wheels!

 

[Strenuus]

Fuck man. The voice of when I really became a fan.

I will always remember his interview with @South East and @TBpup and I called him up to get him on the show and he was so gracious with his time.

Hell of a voice. Hell of a man. RIP. We will be devastated, dejected, and discombobulated.

RIP legend. Thank you for everything.

 

[Mote]

BOOM-SHAKA-LAKA on high Wheels!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Talked with him on the phone not even two weeks ago. He said he was feeling stronger.

One of the few people who called me Sly in public, but more importantly he called me his friend.

RIP my friend.

Let us know if they'll be a memorial or celebration of life for him. Would love to pay my respects.
