According to Scott E. Entsminger’s obituary, which ran Sunday in the Columbus Dispatch, the “lifelong Cleveland Browns fan and season ticket holder,” passed away on July 4. The memorial says the retired General Motors employee and amateur musician “wrote a song each year and sent it to the Cleveland Browns, as well as [offered] other advice on how to run the team.”

The obituary further reports that Entsminger “respectfully requests six Cleveland Browns pall bearers so the Browns can let him down one last time.”
