Bill Russell lived for the last 40 some years on Mercer Island, which is a couple miles from where i work. his cousin and nephew were my customers, and for a number of years he would come around to the dealership from time to time with them, to pick them up and was very nice and chatty with my employees. he acted like a regular guy. super classy. it was an honor to be around him and i was always a huge fan both as a sports icon and as a champion for positive change. he had been head coach for the Seattle NBA team in the early 70's. i'm old enough to have watched him play on TV in the 60's. the definition of a winner.

a great man in every sense of the word. RIP Bill.
