Wayman Tisdale: 1965-2009

[Ronson Hall]

Folks,

Although I didn't know Wayman Tisdale to be a Smith player, he was nonetheless a very gifted bass player and, by all reports, a very fine human being.

He apparently died in the last 24 hours after a hard-fought battle with bone cancer. He had a leg amputated about a year ago in an attempt to halt the spread of the disease, but to no avail. He had a very strong faith in God, and spoke of it often.

He also played 12 strong seasons in the NBA before beginning his joyous recording career.

Although I didn't know him personally, I miss him already. Below are a couple of links to some of his music videos. God bless his memory, and his family.
