Longtime Buffalo Bills athletic trainer Ed Abromoski passed away this week. He was hired before the AFL team had even played a game and spent more than 36 years on the sidelines and working behind the scenes for the organization.
Like many parts of the organization in its infancy, Abromoski came over to the Bills from the Detroit Lions, where Bills’ team founder Ralph Wilson was a minority owner before coming to Western New York in 1959. He retired in 1996.
After receiving multiple awards from the Bills’ Alumni Association, he was elected to the Bills’ Wall of Fame in 1999 as the 14th member.
