The Vikings are mourning the passing of former tight end, radio broadcaster and Twin Cities businessman Joe Senser, who passed away Thursday at the age of 69.
Vikings Owner/President Mark Wilf and Owner/Chairman Zygi Wilf issued the following statement:
"The Vikings family is saddened by the loss of Joe Senser. Joe was a Pro Bowler on the field, but his impact on the organization and in the community was felt long after his playing days. Joe was a generous soul with countless charitable endeavors. He brought his positive personality to every interaction he had, whether it be with former teammates, Vikings staff or our family when we became stewards of this franchise. Joe's warmth and welcoming spirit will last in the memories of those who knew him.
LIVE WELL ~ LOVE MUCH ~ LAUGH OFTEN

#Vikings Owners Mark and Zygi Wilf on the passing of Joe Senser.
DAYUM!
Way too young to meet his maker.
I dont think life was easy for him.
I found this: He suffered a massive stroke on July 3, 2016, at his home. He survived despite what Amy Senser said was a less than 50 percent chance, but lost feeling in the entire right side of his body that hasn't come back. He also lost much of his ability to speak. Apr 19, 2019

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

Didn't know any of that. R.I.P. Joe.
They had some tough times over the years (Joe and his wife)...
She did a couple years in jail for vehicular hit and run. Later on she was his caregiver post his 2016 stroke:
The Fatal Crash: In August 2011, Amy struck and killed a Minneapolis-area chef, Anousone Phanthavong, on the side of a freeway ramp. She claimed she didn't realize she had hit a person, thinking she had struck a pothole or construction barrel.
Conviction and Prison: She was convicted of two felony counts of criminal vehicular homicide in 2012 and sentenced to 41 months in prison. She served her time at the Shakopee Women's Prison and completed her supervised release in 2014.
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
