dwight in philly Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 well, ralph has passed, as a guy who went to his first bills game in 1960 at war memorial stadium , the man was certainly influential in my life. all the highs, all the lows,i feel fortunate that the man kept the team in buffalo despite greener pastures. he was an icon in buffalo, to say the least R I P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdand12 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I am a bit suprised. this really has saddened me for some reason . I did not know Mr Wilson Jr at all. Bills fan of course , but not lifelong. maybe its the end of an Era. A milestone passed today. My Kindest regards to the Wilson family. Mr Wilson lived ninety five years and did good with his time. Rest in Peace Good Sir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Ian Rapoport @RapSheet 2m 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. I guarantee you that more than half the owners in the league couldn't do something like this. Very sad day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefenseWinzChampionshipz Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 May Allah Bless Ralph Wilson's soul. I'm not from Buffalo and I know football is a business and he didn't decide to start a football franchise for charity reasons. He dis it to make a profit. But I love and respect him for bringing the people of Buffalo sometging to root for. Thank you Ralph Wilson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefenseWinzChampionshipz Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 There is an old saying on how people with big ears tend to live a long life... How true this was for Ralph! Wow, 95... What a great life and wonderful team he brought to Buffalo! My ears are not big but they stick out like Wil Smiths. I hope I don't live to see 95 lol. I'll be fine and dandy with 80. All jokes aside, we will never know when our time will come. It's a day of rejoicing for Bills fans. Sharing memories and what not. Gotta be tough for the Wilson family and I pray they can smile through the pain and remember the good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 The first 15 minutes of the 6:00 Sportscenter were all Bills - first RW passing and then update on Kelly.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I think it's kind of fitting in a way that it happened during the week of owners meetings while all 32 are in one location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moose Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Rest in Peace and Godspeed, Mr. Wilson. Your investment in the Buffalo Bills has given me many happy memories and a genuine sense of kinship with Bills fans throughout the World. Thank you for having faith to keep the team in Buffalo and, now that you are in an even loftier position, please use whatever influence you have with the Man Upstairs to keep them there - and bring them a Championship. My thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Wilson's family at this time of both sorrow and of celebration of a life well-lived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleed Bills Blue Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Through all the highs and all the lows, you were the one constant, from the first day till today.
