jimmy10 Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 The only thing I want to see is the RCW somehow made a permanent part of the Bills uniforms, like the GSH on the Bears sleeves.

OhIDunno Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Mr. Wilson made it possible for me to make memories that are some of my most precious (and gut wrenching)! I will forever have those feelings in my heart and thoughts in my mind, so Ralph Wilson will forever be, to me, linked to the buffalo bills. I am excited, however, for the future of the team and cheering them on for the rest of my life!!
Canadian Bills Fan Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Thank you so much Mr. Wilson Not only were you our founding father you are also a legend. I can not wait for your statue to be unveiled. May you RIP and may you smile down upon us knowing that the plan you had all along is now in solid place. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. CBF
Just Jack Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 absolutely, A true American, and a good man! I just heard this morning that the proceeds from the sale of the team will be split between the cities of Buffalo and Detroit. This is awesome, I did not hear the details, if someone can elaborate, I would appreciate it. http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/171662-ralph-foundation-buffalo-news-reporting/

swnybillsfan Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 i don't know if i will ever really be able to express what Ralph C. Wilson Jr. meant, and means to me. i don't know if the words would ever do the feelings justice, and i don't know if they could ever get past the frog in my throat or the blur in my eyes. all i can say is thank you Mr. Wilson, we love you.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 One final tribute The NFL owners approved Kim and Terry Pegula as the new owners of the Buffalo Bills on Wednesday, and after the applause died down, there was another round of applause given for the late Ralph Wilson and those who served under his leadership. “I did mention that after the Pegulas were approved as owners how important Ralph Wilson was to the league,” said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. “How important he was to me personally. How much respect I had for his leadership, his ownership of the Bills and what he’s meant to Western New York. I’m confident that Terry and Kim are going to build on that legacy. They will take the Bills to another level and I think Mr. Wilson would be very proud of the outcome.”
K-9 Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Nicely done, Corp. Nicely done indeed. Mr. Wilson was a great man and we'll only know the tip of the iceberg of his compassion and generosity. i don't know if i will ever really be able to express what Ralph C. Wilson Jr. meant, and means to me. i don't know if the words would ever do the feelings justice, and i don't know if they could ever get past the frog in my throat or the blur in my eyes. all i can say is thank you Mr. Wilson, we love you. Seems to me you did a fine job with the words you posted here.
