We've all seen the Visa commercial about group of old men who have been to every Super Bowl ever played.  Sadly, this Sunday the Super Bowl club lost a member.

Robert Cook, 79, now famous for his appearance in the Visa commercial that seemed to play every five minutes leading up to the Super Bowl, was hospitalized late last week and was forced to miss the big game. His family chose not to disclose what the illness is, other than the fact that he is in the hospital and couldn't make it from Wisconsin to Texas for the game. His two daughters went to see the game instead, and took a photo of their dad on a stick to hold up.  The other three men in the club made it to the game. Robert's wife, Sarah Cook, told reporters, "He's depressed.  This is sad for him.  He doesn't want to be in the hospital."

Good luck Robert, hope you get better.
