Lee Remmel, Packers PR Great, Passes Away
Sad news from the Green Bay Press Gazette:
Lee Remmel, a former Green Bay Press-Gazette reporter whose 62-year relationship with the Green Bay Packers is the longest in team history, died Thursday. He was 90.
Remmel covered the Packers for the Press-Gazette from 1945 to 1974, when the organization hired him to lead its public relations and publicity efforts. He held that position for 30 years until he was named team historian in 2004.
Remmel covered the first two Super Bowls, both won by the Packers, and attended every succeeding Super Bowl until his retirement on Dec. 31, 2007, a career that spanned all 14 head coaches in Packers history. He also attended 122 consecutive Packers-Bears games.
