16 heartwarming fan stories about Gordie Howe that will make you smile - Detroit Free Press

Sunday, June 19, 2016

Robert DenstedtFun night in CincyI had the good fortune to meet Gordie five times over the years, starting when I was 8 years old and my mother marched me up to Federal’s department store in Ferndale to get his autograph.Fast forward to the ’70s and five buddies of mine and me drove to Cincinnati to watch Gordie play for the Houston Aeros. After the game, we fast talked our way into the hall outside the locker room. Gordie comes out and greets us like long-lost friends and has two beers with us. When the team manager told Gordie it was time to go, Gordie simply replied, “These guys drove ALL the way from Detroit to see me, tell the team to sit tight.”My generation will maintain Gordie was the best. Younger generations will say that Gretzky, Orr or Mario Lemieux are the best. I had the opportunity to meet Gordie’s son Murray at the funeral of a dear friend, and I told Murray his dad was the best but younger folks will say Gretzky held that honor. “Wayne Gretzky will tell you my dad was the best,” he said.— Ron HingstFingers in the ribsI met Gordie twice. Both times he thought it was funny to jab his fingers in my ribs. He was the embodiment of what a Michigander should be.— Brad HoffGordie Howe dies at 88Comparing ailing shouldersBack in 2008, I received an e-mail from my Toyota dealership that Gordie Howe was going to be there signing autographs. So I showed up a few minutes before the scheduled start. To my surprise, NO ONE was there! Gordie walked in shortly after and I got to spend 15 minutes of one-on-one time. He was fantastic, so warm and so congenial. We compared lousy shoulders that were due to be operated on. I saw him about a year or so later at a Toast of Hockeytown event and he remembered. I floated out of there. What a wonderful person.— John RheinhardtA couple of GordiesWhen I was about 8 years old, Gordie came to the Eaton’s store in London, Ontario, to meet with his fans and sign autographs. I went down with my dad and waited in line with my Red Wings scrapbook for Gordie to sign. When I got to the f...
