Bob Blackburn, the original voice of the Seattle Supersonics, passed away Friday at the age of 85.For many of us, Blackburn's friendly voice welcomed us into the world of Sonics fandom. He was the voice of the '79 champs and along with Wayne Cody, Ivar Haglund and J.P. Patches, represented the best of Old Seattle, a town that was on the rise, but never took itself too seriously.
He will be missed, but never forgotten.
