Trippy.

Last week I blogged the Jimmy V. speech for the zillionth time. And a few years ago when Lo Charles died, I mentioned that as well.

I never did until this moment, however, realize this:

Valvano is buried in the Cedar Hill Section of Oakwood Cemetery in Raleigh. Lorenzo Charles, the player who scored the winning basket in the 1983 NCAA championship game, died in a bus crash on June 27, 2011 and was buried in proximity to Valvano in Oakwood Cemetery. Charles was 47, the same age as Valvano at his time of death.
