GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Lee Remmel, whose six-decade relationship with the Green Bay Packers spanned a sports writing career and a 30-plus year stint in the team's front office, has died. He was 90.
The team said Remmel died Thursday in Green Bay.
Remmel is a member of the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame, and the Lambeau Field press box was named after him in 2003.
He joined the Packers in 1974, the start of a 30-year career leading public relations for the team. Remmel was named team historian in 2004, retiring from that position three years later.
Before working for the team, Remmel covered the Packers as a writer and columnist for nearly 30 years for the Green Bay Press-Gazette. He covered his first game in 1945.
