AceShowbiz - Susan Lucci is mourning the death of her husband, Helmut Huber. The Austrian-born TV producer, who married the "All My Children" star in 1969, passed away on Monday, March 28 in Long Island, New York. He was 84.
Confirming Helmut's death was a representative for the family. The rep further told PEOPLE, "A family man, he was a loyal friend, and loved them deeply... With a roaring sense of humor, larger-than-life personality, and a practical problem-solver, he lived his life to the fullest. Mr. Huber who formerly raced motorcycles in Austria was a first-rate skier, and avid golfer, belonging to the Garden City Golf Club and Westhampton Country Club."
Susan's publicist, Jessica Sciacchitano, meanwhile, said in a statement, "Helmut's passing is a tremendous loss for all who knew and loved him. He was an extraordinary husband, father, grandfather, and friend." Jessica added, "The family kindly asks for privacy during this incredibly difficult time."
Helmut was survived by Susan, his two sons and two daughters, eight grandchildren, two great-grandchildren and a brother.
