I heard this great story on the radio this morning about a Cleveland Browns football fan who passed away and left this request for some players to be his pall bearers. Read his obituary here:-

 


Scott E. Entsminger
Obituary

Entsminger Scott E. Entsminger, 55, of Mansfield, died Thursday, July 4, 2013 at his residence. Born January 8, 1958 in Columbus, Ohio, he was the son of William and Martha (Kirkendall) Entsminger. He retired from General Motors after 32 years of service. He was an accomplished musician, loved playing the guitar and was a member of the Old Fogies Band. A lifelong Cleveland Browns fan and season ticket holder, he also wrote a song each year and sent it to the Cleveland Browns as well as offering other advice on how to run the team.

 

He respectfully requests six Cleveland Browns pall bearers so the Browns can let him down one last time.

 

Scott was a fun loving, kind and caring man who enjoyed gardening and fishing but his greatest enjoyment was spending time with his family. He is survived by his wife of 16 years, Pat Entsminger; a son, Aaron Entsminger of Columbus; a brother, Bill (Kathy) Entsminger of Grove City, Ohio; a sister, Lois Courtright of Galloway, Ohio; a sister-in-law, Carol Ferrall of Georgia; four nieces, Kristi Nunamaker, Allison Courtright, Emily Ferrall and Ashley Ferrall; a nephew, Benny Entsminger; his three dogs, Blackey, Shadow and Jezebel; his step mother, Lil Entsminger; a special aunt, Ginny Entsminger; and several cousins and other dear relatives. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a brother-in-law Harry Courtright. Memorial services will be held at 2 p.m. Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at the Life Celebration Reception Center, 129 South Main Street, Mansfield, Ohio 44902. Friends may call one hour prior to the service, from 1-2 p.m., on Tuesday. The family also encourages everyone to wear their Cleveland Browns clothing to the service in honor of Scott. The family suggests that something be planted in his memory.

CLEVELAND - It became a national story throughout the day. The Browns have an answer. Lifelong Browns fan Scott E. Entsminger, 55, of Mansfield, Ohio, died on July 4.

 

The Columbus native and a Browns season-ticket holder wrote a song for the team each year and sent it in, along with his advice on how to run the team. Entsminger is also a member of the Browns Backers. According to his obituary in the Columbus Dispatch , Entsminger also "respectfully requests six Cleveland Browns pallbearers so the Browns can let him down one last time." The family also has requested that "everyone" wear their Browns clothing to Entsminger's memorial Tuesday.

 

Cleveland Browns spokesman Zak Gilbert told NewsChannel5 Sports the team has reached out to his widow Pat to offer the team's condolences. She informed the team that his favorite player was Hall of Famer Lou Groza. The team will present the Entsminger family with a number 76 jersey at the memorial service. It would be difficult to fulfill the request for the Browns, considering the team is not in Berea and does not start training camp until July 25.

 

Funny. But the real question I know you what to answer is the English cricket team as good as they think they are and are the Australia's as bad as we fear? That's right, the English Summer is here which means the ASHES starts again.
