Elgin Baylor

Elgin Baylor is the real G.O.A.T. If I could have the ability of anyone who ever lived, it would be the ability to play basketball like ELGIN BAYLOR. Thanks for the memories Elgin. R.I.P.

Thanks for the memories of watching you play and keep hanging in the air in Heaven.

May the words at Isaiah 61:1,2 prove to be comforting to you. God will bind up the broken hearted... and comfort all who mourn.

Elgin, my going to Seattle University was a coincidence my becoming your teammate and friend and participating in the 1958 NCAA championship game was an act of God since then I have been counting my blessings, getting to know you was one of my most pleasant experiences in college especially your sense of humor.

Our condolences to Elaine, family and friends of Elgin. R.I.P.
So many memories, most all of them like yesterday.

the spring of 1955. We had heard of his great play at College
of Idaho and that they were ceasing play there. An alum wisely brought
him to Seattle. I was finishing baseball practice when coach Al Brightman
told us he was playing at the gym. A few of us hurried to watch.

Elgin, You made it possible for me to be who I am today. Thank you. You took me under your wing and took me to Seattle U with you. I have enjoyed every moment of playing with you on the playgrounds of Washington D.C., at Spingarn High School, and at Seattle University. Being your room mate, plus being on the 1958 NCAA Final Four runner-up team with you, and having the honor of being your best man at your wedding were the best days of my life. I have always said that you were the best...

My wife Jo and I were blessed to know Elgin for many years. We worked together with the Clippers for 22 seasons. We played golf and tennis together. We traveled to Japan, China, Mexico City and Russia together. We celebrated Clipper wins and shared remorse over their losses. We knew and loved Elaine and daughter Krystal. Both Jo and I are better people for having known this wonderful man. His love for his wife served as an inspiration for us all. RIP dear Elgin.
