    95 years old, I think he was the longest tenured owner of a NFL/AFL football team to this date. Served in World War 2. RIP Ralph.

    And stealing a comment that I read, Jim Kelly has a powerful angel on his side now.

    A class act.

    You could say Wilson was the "anti-Jim Irsay."

    The NFL could use a few more owners like that. Wilson was steady and a solid person for the Buffalo fans in spite of not having billions and being in a small market town - he still fielded a competitive team (unlike some other billionaire owners I know …).
