Former Portland Trailblazers broadcaster Bill Schonely has died
I have fun memories of listening to him on the radio. People would attend the games and have their radios with them, he was that much fun to listen to.

Bill Schonely has died at 93 years old.
The report comes from long time PDX sportswriter Kerry Eggers who co-wrote Schonelys autobiography.
Schonely is probably the most famous and beloved broadcaster in Portland history and the long time voice of the Blazers who coined the phrase “Rip City”.
