Wahl’s wife, Celine Gounder, spoke along with his brother, Eric Wahl, and former Sports Illustrated colleagues.
. A two-hour celebration of his life at The Times Center on Wednesday drew several hundred people, including colleagues and soccer officials.
“Grant really did write to Sports Illustrated in late elementary school to say: `My name is Grant Wall and I want to write for your magazine,’” recalled his brother, Eric Wahl. “And he really did get a response that said something like: Dear Grant. Thanks for your letter. That’s cute. Keep writing.’ But the fact that he received a reply stuck with him.”
“Grant’s effort to be Anthony Bourdain of soccer without ever trying heroin,” said Joel H. Samuels, dean of the University of South Carolina’s College of Arts and Sciences, host of the celebration, a friend from Princeton days and the officiant at Wahl’s wedding.
