“Our hearts go out to the Arizona Cardinals as we mourn the passing of Bill Bidwill. The Lions and Cardinals have always shared a proud bond as two of the NFL’s original franchises, and the Bidwill Family holds a treasured place in the history of professional football. His more than 80 years of life as part of the Cardinals organization will be remembered through a legacy marked by countless contributions to our great game. On behalf of my family and the Detroit Lions, we extend our thoughts and deepest sympathies to his children – Bill Jr., Michael, Nicole, Patrick and Tim – and the entire Bidwill Family.” |
