Rest In Peace Cotton

[Lefty]

Just saw the news and they reported Cotton Fitzsimmons passed away today. Cotton was a class act and will always be a Sun. RIP Cotton.

 

[carey]

My thoughts are with his family.

Sad day, he will be very missed.

 

[Renz]

That sucks. He was a genuinely good guy. The world is a poorer place tonight without him.

 

[binkar]

Always have enjoyed Cotton and what he contributed to the Suns. He is going to be greatly missed. Rest in peace Cotton.

RIP Cotton, we all loved you.

 

[sly fly]

Out of respect to Cotton, everyone should refrain from talking about any potential player movement for the next couple days.

Just doesn't seem right.

The next "out-court" shot I hit Cotton, I'll be thinking of you.

 

[JS22]

I just saw this on ESPN.

RIP Cotton.

RIP

 

[George O'Brien]

He has been so much a part of the Suns, it is hard to imagine him gone. There have been a lot of coaches and commentors, but I can't think of any who was as well liked and admired as Cotton. He wasn't just a sports personality, he was like family. He will be missed.

I grew up a huge suns fan in Phoenix, and watching Cotton's teams with the Suns was something special.

Very sad news.

 

[Espo]

He should be the next ring of honor inductee. RIP Cotton.

 

[JerkFace]

He should be the next ring of honor inductee. RIP Cotton.

i was hoping that he would make it to the season so that he could be present when he went into the ring of honor. this is a sad day.

 

[green machine]

RIP Cotton, the only "true Sun".

 

[moviebuff316]

Damn it RIP

1970-71 season was the 1st year I had an interst in basketball. I was 8 year old. I remember hearing about their "young" coach Cotton Fitzsimmons. Cotton was a good man who did a lot for the team. I am 42. He was younger than I am now when he started as thier coach. I hope with his contributions as a coach, broadcater and administrator he will be put in the ring of honor. He will be missed

 

[Mike Olbinski]

I didn't even know he was really sick, this is shocking...he was such a great guy, this is a big loss.

RIP Cotton...

Cotton Fitzsimmons was the Suns for pretty much as long as I can remember watching them. The organization and the city of phoenix lost an upstanding member of the community.

RIP Cotton, you will always be missed.

 

[Chaz]

Sad day for The Suns, the league, and everyone that knew him.

You will be missed Lowell Fitzsimmons, may you rest in peace.

 

[Goldfield]

He is the reason I am such a strong Suns fan, This hurts bad...

 

[thegrahamcrackr]

RIP Cotton. It is going to be a lot different with you gone.....

 

[Shane]

very sad news indeed. even though i am down on nba b-ball as a whole, i will never foget cotton during the early ninetees. i watched his weekly tv show religously. he was and is a class act!

 

[Stronso]

Cotton, arguably, saved the Suns franchise. He helped to turn this this around after the drug scandal in the late 80s. He was a straight shooter and a class act.


RIP Cotton

Prayers and thoughts for him and his family.
