WNY Remembers Pancho Billa

Beloved Buffalo Bills fan, Pancho Billa, has died following a fight against stage four cancer.

You may know him as Pancho, but his real name was Erza Castro and surprisingly, he had no connection to Western New York. Castro was originally from El Paso, Texas and eventually moved to Dallas. But that didn’t hinder his love of the Buffalo Bills.

Castro was even invited to the 2018 NFL Draft in Dallas, where he announced the Bills’ selection of Harrison Phillips with the 96th pick.

Castro had even been honored by the BFLO Hall of Fame Experience and had made many trips up to Western New York to visit the hometown of his favorite football team.

Castro was diagnosed with stage four cancer in 2017.
