Woeful Cleveland Browns contribute to man's death

HURON — The Cleveland Browns have killed the careers of numerous coaches and quarterbacks.And now, according to one local notice, they're now responsible for playing a pivotal role in a Huron man's recent death.Paul Stark died on Wednesday and, in his obituary, list an interesting reason for what caused it."Stark passed away Dec. 27, 2017, of complications from a brief illness, exacerbated by the hopeless condition of the Cleveland Browns, at Stein Hospice, Sandusky."Described as a proud native of Mansfield, Ohio, he lived for more than 30 years in Columbus, Ohio, where he and his wife, Susan, raised their family. He spent his later and happiest years in his adopted home town of Huron. A graduate of Mansfield High School, Paul remained a lifelong Tygers' fan. His amazing work ethic and natural mathematical gifts led him to a career as a surveyor, spending most of his career with Kokosing Construction Co.The write-up, however, referenced Stark's undying loyalism to the team and offered some optimism for the Browns, maybe even predicting the team's first victory this Sunday in hopes of avoiding a winless season."Paul passed just before the Browns were prepared to turn the corner, but had many well-earned blessings. Paul believed in paying it forward, and the goodwill he leaves behind will endure long after he's gone."His family requested that, in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to:• The Friendly House of Mansfield, 380 N. Mulberry St., Mansfield, OH 44902• Stein Hospice Services, 1200 Sycamore Line, Sandusky, OH 44870• Victory Kitchen 1613 Hayes Ave, Sandusky, OH 44870
