I can best sum him up as the only guy who knew more about the Green Bay Packers than me and maybe Eric Goska.
Remmel covered the Packers for the Green Bay Press-Gazette from 1945 to 1974. In 1974, he moved into Lambeau to handle the organization’s public relations. He held that job until 2004. He was then named team historian, a position he held until he retired at the end of 2007.
And that’s pretty fitting.
Remmel had a crazy and encyclopedic knowledge of Packers history.
I personally remember him when he was much more in the public eye — in the 1980s and ’90s.
