RIP Mr. Ralph C. Wilson, my condolences to his family and Bills organization. as a Bills fan i am proud to have had a team owner who will leave a positive and everlasting mark on the NFL. may his contributions always be inseparable from the team that i was destined to be a fan of for as long as there will be Buffalo Bills.....and now it begins. :cry:

Thank you for the many great times with friends and family your team has given and for all the charitable work you did throughout the years that sometimes get lost in our enthusiasm for winning.

 

Enjoy our Super Bowl victory (when it happens) from the other side!

Ralph Wilson called #Bills CEO Russ Brandon four days ago about a safety prospect he believed was a 3rd or 4th rounder. Amazing.

 

Pretty cool.

 

its everything great and probably some of the troubles all summed up. He had a passion for the team and the game all the way til the end. For all the griping about him, we were lucky to have someone that cared so much. itll be interesting to see what the future holds. details of the plan surely come out soon.

Thank you Ralph! when you think of his longevity it's amazing. My parents weren't even married when Ralph's Buffalo Bills suited up for their first game. We celebrated my folks 50th wedding anniversary a couple yrs ago. just crazy.

Wow. RIP Ralph. Knew this was coming, but still somehow feel shocked. I hope the Bills can do something special this year on the field in his/Kelly's honor. Wouldn't that be storybook? Go Bills!!!!! :thumbsup:

Quotable: "R.I.P mr. Wilson... Thank you doesn't describe how truly grateful I am for the opportunity you gave me to play a game I love." -- former Bills and current Saints safety Jairus Byrd via Twitter on the death of Bills owner Ralph Wilson on Tuesday. He was 95 and not in attendance at the NFL owners meetings this week in Orlando.

“At a critical juncture in the National Football League’s history, Ralph Wilson provided a level of leadership and vision that helped make the NFL what it is today,” Bidwill said.
