Yesterday the owner of the Utah Jazz, Larry Horne Miller passed away from complications with diabetes. He lived 1944-2009 and provided lots of things to the state of Utah. In 1986 he purchased the other half of the team so that they would be able to stay here in Utah. Thanks heavens he did because there have been many good times in Utah Jazz basketball since that time. My favorite years so far (even though they all have been pretty good) were the finals year from 1996-1998. I wish so bad that the Jazz would have been able to pull off a victory and bring a championship to this much deserving town, but that is just something I will appreciate even more when it comes. Thanks Larry for all the memories and for bringing Jazz basketball to the state of Utah!
