My Uncle John Brosig is a finalist for the Packers Fan Hall Fame. Unfortunately he passed away on Saturday, December 28th. In order for him to win, he needs the most votes and you can vote every day! Uncle John deserves this win and our family is wanting to make this happen for him! He even included the vote in his obituary. Itβs what he wanted! The link to vote is in my bio. The Brosig Family is nominating our dad, John Brosig, for the Packer Fan Hall of Fame. Dad started attending Packer games in 1960 when tickets were free. He got his season tickets in 1964 and has been to every home game for his ticket package since. This year, 2024, was his 60th year! Dad's love of the Packers is larger than life. His entire year is planned around the Packers. Weddings, travel plans, birthday parties, graduation parties, and anniversary parties had to be planned around the Packer schedule. He says being a Packer Fan has always been in his blood. Growing up as a kid in the 1940s and 1950s, he remembers sitting around the radio with his father and uncles and learning about the legend of the Packers. Too him, they were like gods. He even recalls sneaking into many games for free. Dad has always been a positive fan, never swearing or bad-mouthing the players or coaching staff. "Just have faith" he always says. He talks often of his favorite memory, attending the Ice Bowl game and how pivotal this game was. He still has a team bench from that game! Dad and Mom's (Dianne) love of tailgating are unmatched. They would routinely have tailgates which had attendees of up to one hundred family and friends. From their extensive travel to 29/32 rival NFL stadiums and Super Bowl 31, they made many friends from both the Packers and opposing teams. They always extended an open invite to them if ever in Green Bay. Many took them up on the offer. They had a way of bringing fans from all teams and all walks of life into the fold of the Frozen Tundra making them feel welcomed. Dad and his nephews took their tailgating to another level, purchasing an ambulance and renovating it into the "Pulse of the Pack." He was even interviewed by Sports Illustrated on what being a Packer Fan means. Dad's support of Veteran's service and their family's sacrifices is heartfelt. Having many family members and friends who are Veterans, dad goes the extra mile to coordinate tickets and tailgating experiences. In 2006, Dad was diagnosed with kidney cancer but was able to beat it. To quote Coach Lombardi: "It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up." Dad did get back up and is still with us. He talks about all the Packer experiences he has had in those 18 years and how important they are to him. Unfortunately, Dad was diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer in June 2024. When asked what goals he would like to set, the first goal was to attend the home opener so he would not break his streak and start year number 60! We made that happen for him. Dad went as far as to push chemotherapy treatment till after the game. He is still fighting to see more games of The Green and Gold. Link in bio to vote!
