My wife and I were at a game several years ago and we saw Mr. Wilson riding through the concourse on a golf cart. He was smiling and appeared to be happy to be there and no where else. When he passed we said hi Mr. Wilson and got a bit of a smirk and a nod. My wife and I have been Bills fans for our entire lives and that was one of our fondest memories of going to a game together. We too have felt the loss and are mourning for a man we never really met but had an interaction with. It's a sad time for the Wilson family, Western New York and Bills fans everywhere. Some will say we lined Mr. Wilson's pockets and the organization should thank us. This may be true to a certain extent but I think we can all agree that Mr. Wilson keeping OUR Bills in Buffalo and accessible to all of the hard working, blue collar and white collar folks that love, sometimes hate and commiserate with them is nothing short of a great gift from a man that loved, respected and only wanted the best for the game, the region and the fans. There's a reason we're all fans of this team. Some born into it, some grabbed on during the good times and many who have seen it through the bad. Of all the Bills fans I've had the pleasure to meet it would seem we all love our Bills, we all have a great deal of pride in our team and will defend them right or wrong, good, bad or indifferent they are our team and we have Mr. Wilson to thank for that.
RIP Mr. Wilson
Prayers for Jim Kelly
