RIP - Don "Huff" Hufstedler

[Harry]

Very sad day indeed for me and many others as we just got word of Don's passing.   He was a very big supporter of North Texas athletics over many years and a very good friend to this site.  When we were just getting GoMeanGreen off the ground, Don provided so much support and encouragement. He truly bled green and cared so much about the program.  He also was a great family man and had a wonderful career in education.  Please keep his family in your prayers.  We will miss you so much Don!  Rest in peace my friend.  GMG

Very nice words, Harry.

“Huff” hadn’t been on GMG for weeks & I started asking if anyone had heard from him. One of the best MG  fans I ever met since meeting Kathy & him in about 1973.  
Don told many of us some funny stories about his growing up in west Texas.  His dad was a Texas Tech alum.  He & his daddy were at the first game ever at Fouts Field.  In fact, I think his dad was a referee at that game.

Don will be missed by so many of us nestors.  He & Kathy were 2 of the best Mean Green fans UNT was lucky to have.  
🙏🏻Prayers for Kathy & Family.

Prayers for Huff and family.  We'll miss you.  We lost a great one.

Huff was one of the first people to sign up for the old MGC and he was always very encouraging and great to talk to. Unlike most of us he somehow kept his calm even when most of us wanted to pull our hair out over a meaningless loss or bad half of football although he was passionately Mean Green. Hope I age as gracefully. RIP

Always sad when we lose a member of GMG.com.  Never met Huff but enjoyed his posts.

Who was it, MG61 or NT61, that posted regularly up until 3-4 years ago(maybe more), then just disappeared.  Sad to lose good fans.

Thoughts and prayers with Huff's family.  Like many, I didn't know him except through this board, but I enjoyed he posts and insight.

Nailed it, Rob.  👍👍

Honestly, we are all going to miss that man (& MG fan).   Continued prayers for Kathy & Family.   

••• I’d bet Don & Al Miller (ArlingtonMeanGreen) are talking MG football even now. (Yes, Al snuck under the radar with his passing, too, nearly 2 years ago).
••• Last time I saw both those guys was at the Mean Joe Greene statue unveiling ceremony.
