Memorials for Former Sonics' Broadcaster This Weekend

Per the Seattle PI, you'll have two opportunities to pay your respects to the late (and great) former Sonic broadcaster Bob Blackburn, who passed away earlier this month.

Up first is a wake, to be held tonight (Friday) at 7 o'clock in Issaquah at the Gaslamp Bar & Grill. You'll have the opportunity to hear the replay of Blackburn's call of the 1979 Championship Game, as well as other highlights from his career.

Then, on Sunday, comes a formal public memorial service at First United Methodist Church in Bellevue. The service is slated to begin at 3 p.m.
