My best friend of 63 years passed away yesterday unexpectedly. We shared 49er season tickets for over 30 years and attended at least 400 sporting events together including Warriors, Giants and Stanford football games. We were both die hard Niner fans going all the way back to the 50's. His father and a group of 7 friends were among the first season ticket holders when the team joined the NFL in 1950. They had seats under the press box on the 40 yard line. I attended several games with them ay old Kezar Stadium including that game where Jim Marshall of the Vikings recovered a fumble and ran the wrong way for a safety.
I know none of you knew Dennis but he was a 49er fan to the end. Sadly he won't see them win Lombardi #6 this year.
Goodbye old buddy. It was a hell of ride. Gonna miss you terribly.
I'm sorry for your loss, CM...if it's any consolation, I think most of us would count ourselves very lucky to have a friend like that. Sounds like a great dude.
Don't worry, he's enjoying the 49ers run from the other side now!
