Steve Silberman: I didn’t know Bill Walton. But one thing I did know: How it felt to be in that happy place near the stage when the Grateful Dead were really going for it. Bye, Bill - we were all lucky.

He hugged me and welcomed me aboard the bus at my first show. 😢

It was always joyous to see his beaming smile rising above the crowd on the Jumbotron.

Saw him many times at Shoreline and last year at Oracle for Dead & Co. RIP youtu.be/WcxHBCOm6SU?...

He used to chat with me backstage. I had to stand in a chair. Really sweet guy. GNU.

On a chair. Now I have a strange picture in my head of talking to his knees.

He’s at the Veneta fairgrounds in the sky now

RIP.
