In what would prove to be his last public appearance during his lifetime at Joe Louis Arena, legendary Red Wings player Gordie Howe celebrated his 88th and final birthday surrounded by his family and 20,000 of his friends. He spent time visiting in the Red Wings dressing room before their matchup against Buffalo, and was also serenaded with “Happy Birthday” from the Joe Louis Arena faithful. Howe would leave us in June of 2016, leaving behind an immeasurable legacy.
