Tipster19 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I'm very sorry for your loss Guffalo, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Of course you're proud just to be your Father's son but I'm sure that your chest swelled just a little bit more with pride when they referred to your dad as the home town hero. May time pass and ease the pain of your loss but your dad does still lives, he lives in you. Treasure your thoughts, embrace your memories. It is bittersweet but the beauty of it is those things are personal and your dad shared them just with you. God bless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandler#81 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 1340593977[/url]' post='2492351']Sorry for your loss my friend. Those were fantastic. Â Can I throw something out there. Many of us older posters have some dads/uncles that were a big part of the old days of the Bills. Many of them, my dad included have no idea how to navigate the Internet but please point them this way. We could set up a spot for them to tell stories of the old days. I'm 51 but my dad hung at the Rock Pile all the time. Could be some great stories. Â Great idea! I'm all for it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guffalo Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 Thanks for all the kind words. The obit posted today. Â One thing that was pretty cool was the year that Bruce and Ralph went into the hall of fame coincided with the 50th anniversary of the AFL. I went with my brother and sister and when we got to the hall, for each team, the original old logo were displayed on large banners around the exhibition space. there was "Buffalo Bill" that my dad had drawn when I was just a pup. At that point Dad was not able to travel, but with dust in my eyes, I called him and told him he was a "Hall of Fame Dad". For Fathers day that year I got in touch with the HOF and they sent me the graphic that was used to produce the banner. I ended up printing up a small banner for him as a gift.

need therapy Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 (edited) Thank you for posting your Dad's artwork. I always love looking at the artwork on old programs and I appreciate your Dad's style and artistry. My condolences on your loss, I just lost my Dad a couple of months ago and I miss him every day. BTW, my screen name is from a long time ago and has nothing to do with losing my Dad. I always say I've been a Buffalo Bills fan for over 35 years, so I must need therapy. I blame my Dad for getting season tickets for the Bills when I was 4. : ) Edited June 25, 2012 by need therapy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
