papazoid Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 He got his start at age 9, at the Old Rockpile, War Memorial Stadium in Buffalo, where he attended the Bills’ first-ever regular-season home game, on Sept. 18, 1960. Over the Bills’ first 54 seasons, through snowstorms and subzero temperatures, through painful 1-13 and 2-14 seasons, through his own honeymoon and the birth of his children, Jimmy Nydahl missed only two Bills home games, one because of a serious back injury in 2008, and the other as a teenager when his family couldn’t afford the price of American Football League championship game tickets. He attended more than 425 home games – plus four Super Bowls and some road games – over those 54 seasons, dating from age 9 into his early 60s. http://bills.buffalonews.com/2016/01/18/death-of-jimmy-nydahl-stirs-memories-of-a-lifelong-bills-fan-like-none-other/

BuffaloBill Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Prepare yourselves. This is our destiny. Lifelong fandom. No reward. BOO .. My a great Bills fan enjoy his rest...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Prepare yourselves. This is our destiny. Lifelong fandom. No reward. Truth.
Flutie Flakes Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Prepare yourselves. This is our destiny. Lifelong fandom. No reward. With that type of mental outlook, why do you get out of bed in the morning? Sounds like Jimmy lived his life to the fullest and was one hell of a Bills fan! RIP Jimmy.
MarkyMannn Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 64 is way too young. RIP Tell me about it as a guy who hits 60 this April. Scan the obit's in the Buff News, a LOT of people in their 40's 50's 60's.
xsoldier54 Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 RIP Jimmy. You were the loyalist of fans. God Bless you and your family.

Sounds like Jimmy lived his life to the fullest and was one hell of a Bills fan! RIP Jimmy. You could fill the stadium a hundred times over with Bills fans who have passed. There's only 13 teams left who haven't won a SB, 9 of which made it and lost. Who's Purgatory is worse? The Departed's or living Bills fans? At 16 years and counting without so much as a sniff of the playoffs, I've resigned myself to this fate. Doesn't mean I don't get out of bed every day.
dwight in philly Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) i knew jimmy and being a year younger, it makes one realize that all the "re-builds" suck. the shirt that says "one before i die" rings very true, especially today. R I P.. Edited January 19, 2016 by dwight in philly
