Tuba Guy, You Will Be Missed
Hotdog & Friends —
... Sometime between Sunday Night and Monday Morning, beloved Seattle icon, Tuba Guy, passed away. He had been the victim of beating and robbery on October 25th which left him with head wounds and he was at home after a stay at the hospital. Tuba Guy was a fixture in Seattle sports.

... he was an absolute fixture at the Key Arena.
I have nothing in common with the Tuba man and until today never knew his name. I would have looked forward however to introducing my kids to him when we went to a new game in the new Key.

And so we pay tribute the only way ...

Police arrested two suspects on the scene and are looking for three more. A memorial is set for Wednesday night at Qwest Field Events Center.

... Perhaps more significantly, even with the loss, Buffalo has fallen out of the lead in the standings for America’s Most Tortured Sports City. With the Sonics moving, Mariners sucking and Seahawks blowing, not to mention the indignity that is Washington football, Seattle has rocketed up the charts in the past 365 days. The clincher was last month when Seattle super fan “Tuba Man” — their version of the Cubs’ Ronnie Woo-Woo, Broncos’ Barrel Man and USC’s Phillips — was murdered by some random scumbags. ...
