Episode Summary: Paul Helber
This week, with the Helber family’s approval, we’re presenting my eulogy of their husband, father, and grandfather, Paul Helber, who was very well known and respected by anyone who grew up playing hockey (and probably baseball and football, too) in Ann Arbor. Our relationship started, amazingly, after I was the last man cut from his 1978-79 travel team. He handled it so well it became the foundation of a lifelong friendship, one in which he served as mentor to me on many levels – as I know he did for hundreds of other young people, too.
