He never once in the years I knew him boasted about his career in any way. He was humble, generous, easy going and always there for his friends and family when they needed him. I will miss him more than words can say. And to those with nothing better to do than disrespect a man after his passing, get a life and grow up. You disgust me and everyone who reads this.

He played successfully for more that 10 years in the NHL, having been through 14 different knee surgeries, not sure many of us could accomplish what he did. <br /><br />He was a warm and fun sole with flaws like all of us. He was great friend and it's with such a heavy heart that I say I'll miss you so much and forever "Big Fella"Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09573338429736405954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28356419.post-46947554236149231792010-04-25T21:26:32.400-07:002010-04-25T21:26:32.400-07:00I first heard of Willie Huber when I started colle...I first heard of Willie Huber when I started collecting 80s hockey cards.I'm 29 now, but sadly missed most of the 80s NHL.I like Willie Huber, and if you ever read this Willie, know that you have a fan in me!!
