bflotim1 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Guff, Sorry to hear about your loss. I believe we used to work together for a little while at the CSCE a few years back (we were the only Bills fans to work there). Prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.

Buftex Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Sorry Guff. Your dad left his mark. I lost my mom this year, so I can relate in some way. I have a handful of those programs that feature his artwork. Believe it or not, I have a copy of the Bills/Oilers that you linked in your first thread, framed and hung on my wall. It is autographed by Ernie Warlick. When my uncle died, I got a whole stack of 60's Bills programs from him. I love that kind of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Guff: Once you get to 5 pages of threads I only scan, but with this one, I read every comment. I hope you did too. Someone that works with me on my team just lost her husband. I was thinking of you and you have a large extended Bills Fan family out there. Thanks again for your dad helping to make this great team a success. God Bless!! MGK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Beard Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Sorry for your loss. Those drawings reflect a past before photoshop and other computer enhancements. Back then it was all about the true talent of the artist, and obviously your father had some tremendous talent. He had an amazing ability to think up the ideas and then draw them so well. I'm sure you have many wonderful memories, and those will be with you forever. I lost my dad a few years ago, so I say this from first hand experience.

BuffaloBob Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 We lost another Bills fan yesterday. Kevin Weil, an artist and businessman from Kenmore passed away last night. He was responsible for the early artwork for the Buffalo Bills in the AFL in the early 60's. he will be missed, he was also my Dad Sample Bills covers I know what you're going through. I lost mine about 6 years ago. Thanks for sharing the covers for the programs. How cool is that?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indiragandhi'sthong Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 So sorry about your father ... What a gifted artist. Those covers are such a treasure. I wish they would have brought back that character and those covers as part of the nostalgia wave of the past few years. Your father will be missed, but his contributions are surely appreciated.

reddogblitz Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I'm not sure what to say other than I offer my condolences.
