Whom We Miss: Gordie Howe by Andre Lacroix
Gordie and Andre
"Gordie was the best of them all. He had most of his success when there were only 6 teams. He was even a better person than he was a hockey player. He always had time to sign autographs and he never thought of himself as the great Gordie. He only wanted to be one of the guys. He will be missed because there will not be another Gordie Howe. I am happy to have been a friend of Gordie for many years and I will miss him like a lot of other people will. He meant so much to the community when he played in Hartford and when you meet him you would never leave with the idea that he was the greatest. He was the best who always treated everybody else like he wanted to be treated. A great man who loved everybody around him. I am sure he is in a good place thinking how he could help somebody else. I am sure he would want everybody to celebrate his life because he had a good one. I will miss him a lot."
