“I’m very fond of Grant and having that cover shoot — me being a teenager and him covering that, it was a pretty cool thing,”. “And he was always pretty cool to be around. He spent a lot of time in my hometown of Akron covering me over the course of time before that cover story came out. And I’ve always kind of watched from a distance.
“Even when I moved up the ranks and became a professional and he kind of went to a different sport and things of that nature over the years, anytime his name would come up I would always think back to me as a teenager and having Grant in our building down at [St. Vincent’s]. So, it’s a tragic loss. It’s unfortunate to lose someone as great as he was and I wish his family, like I said, the best. And may he rest in paradise.
James also indicated he saw that Wahl’s brother, Eric, said he believes foul play was involved, but did not want to comment on the nature of his death without further details.
