RIP football fan.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — One of the men featured in a Visa credit card television commercial for having never missed a Super Bowl has died. He was 79.

Bob Cook had been to 44 straight Super Bowls but couldn't make to Texas to watch his beloved Green Bay Packers defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers on Feb. 6. Instead, Cook viewed the game from his hospital bed with his wife, who decorated his room with green and gold lights.

Cook, whose obituary ends with "GO PACK GO," died last week after a blood infection and other chronic issues, including congestive heart failure, his wife, Sarah Cook, said Monday.

That sucks out loud that he missed he fav team before he checked out. I guess it's just as well he probably would have had one of the temp seats and missed the game anyway. RIP.
