Numark Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 RIP, I really think this franchise has been put back on the right track. I really wish he could see the bills be good again. RIP again. Hopefully a lot of fans can recognize how lucky we were to have him, and how the hate was ignorant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TC in St. Louis Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 RIP Ralph Wilson. We ran into him on the way into the Ralph one bright Sunday. He smiled and shook my hand. Odd to see the owner of a team just strolling across the lot like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DallasBillsFan1 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Mr. Wilson was a pioneer and innovator. Also unjustly criticized several years ago for "not understanding" the CBA at that time ... when no one understood that mess. Anyway, THANK YOU Mr. Wilson!

DC Grid Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) 95 years old, helped launch pro football as we know it today, made a fortune, and brought happiness, even in bad times to a rust belt city that wasn't his own.

rockpile Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 When we lost Jack Kemp I was sad for a week and with #12 --> who is only 13 days older than me in some trouble , this is very unsettling to me. Thanks for trying Ralph. You loved the team as much as we loved the team RIP. My father was a founding member and officer of the Buffalo Bills Boosters Club, Inc from day one, so the Bills are "in my blood" since 1960. RIP Mr. Wilson This was expected but still a shock.

gobillies Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Ralph C Wilson, Jr. - RIP Hard to believe he's gone, he did so much for Buffalo and was the Don of the Bills Mafia. Hopefully the RW patch that will undoubtedly be on our jerseys this year helps propel us back to greatness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBuff423 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 No matter his detractors or mistakes he may have made, this man brought NFL football to the Buffalo region and birthed generations of rabid and loyal fans...the man was not perfect, but he loved the Buffalo BILLS and he loved seeing this team at its pinnacle of success and lamented its tragic descension into the depths of which it has become, on the field...I sincerely wish his family powerful winds of peace and solace in their time of bereavement and pray they can find new hope and new strength when the time is right...God-speed Mr. Wilson, without you and your vision, I might just be a casual fan or maybe, no fan at all...as a fan, I deeply appreciate your commitment to this organization and this region and truly hope the next owner shares all the same passions and devotions to this team that you had....RIP BTW, this topic should be PINNED, if EVER a topic merited such a credit, it's this one....
