Madopal: My Stacey King story: I used to work at Record City in Northbrook. It was near enough the Berto Center that many Bulls would come in after practice. (Michael Jordan once shook his head disapprovingly at me wearing granny glasses). Stacey was more of a regular, so we saw him a lot. So, one time, Stacey was in and browsing thru the hip hop section. A coworker who used to greet & chat with him saw him looking at an album. From that point, we all greeted him as "Pooh-Man," and he took it with pride & grinned when he came in. Flash forward several years later, and I'm looking for parking at Northbrook Court. I see a rather tall man walking towards the mall, and I realize it's Stacey. As I drive past, I roll down the window and shout "Pooh-Man!" He doubles over with laughter. He will be missed.
