A final goodbye to the Voice of God
To all good things must come an end — even memorial services for Bill Schonely.
A warm, wonderful goodbye to ‘The Schonz’
He was always comfortable in the limelight, taking that spot on center stage with confidence and verve.
Schonz calls it a career: ‘Good night, everybody!’
As would be expected, Bill Schonely did not have the most restful night of sleep on Sunday.

The Schonz at 92: ‘I’m one of the old guys now’
Bill Schonely and I had lunch the other day in our annual celebration of his birthday.
His 92nd, which comes Tuesday, June 1.
“I remember as a young kid, I would see some of the older people walking around,” the legendary voice of the Trail Blazers said. “I thought, ‘Boy oh boy, are they old. I don’t ever want to be old like that.’
“Well, guess what? I’m 92. I’m one of those old guys now.”
