As I'm sure many of you now know, Wayman Tisdale a gifted jazz musician and former NBA player has passed away at the age of 44. This hits us here at SFSI especially hard as Wayman was drafted second overall in 1985 by our Indiana Pacers.
Wayman was a brilliant college basketball player. A three time Big Eight Conference player of the year and also a three time All-American at Oklahoma. Wayman had a solid, if unspectacular NBA career. After he retired, Wayman became an extremely accomplished jazz bassist.
Wayman's love for life and kindness to others was not dampened when he was diagnosed with cancer. He continued to live life to the fullest and to inspire all those that he met. Yesterday on May 15,2009, the world lost one of its truly unique talents. Rest in peace Wayman, you will be missed.
