One of the standout players from the Buffalo Bills' championship years has died.

Ernest "Ernie" Warlick succumbed to a brief illness at the age of 82. He was an all-star tight end for the Bills for 4 years, including the AFL Championship years of 1964 and 1965. Warlick went on to become a local sportscaster and business owner. Fellow teammates remember him as a talented player and a welcomed presence on the team.

He is survived by his wife and 3 children.
