SANDUSKY – A Sandusky man’s tongue-in-cheek obituary has blamed the winless Cleveland Browns for contributing to his demise.
The obituary published in the Sandusky Register said Paul Stark died last Wednesday at a hospice facility after a brief illness “exacerbated by the hopeless condition of the Cleveland Browns.”
Stark’s obituary included a nugget of the optimism voiced by some long-suffering fans.
It said the 80-year-old Mansfield native “passed just before the Browns were prepared to turn the corner.”
Stark did not live to see that hope snuffed out Sunday when the Browns finished the 2017 season without winning a single game.
