I join the entire football community in mourning the loss of a truly great man in Ralph Wilson.

He was a very passionate football fan. He was progressive in his thoughts, he loved his players and he provided every resource you could ask for.

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Wilson family at this difficult time.
