RIP Willie Huber

[dash]

Former Red Wings defenseman (also spent some time with the Canucks, Rangers and Flyers) Willie Huber has died of a heart attack at the age of 52. Geez, that's not much older than me.

useless hockey card trivia:

Willie Huber's rookie card was 1979/80 OPC #17.
Gretz' rookie card was the same year OPC #18

RIP Mr. Huber...

And yes, Dash, I am in the same boat as you and the scary thing is that it happens all the time...

Yeah, 52 is young. I lost two of my friends in 2008, both under 50, one 48, the other 46 at the time of their deaths. It's always sad to hear about someone passing at such a young age.

Way too early. He only outlived his first Wings coach, Bobby Kromm, by less than a month.
