Susan Lucci’s husband Helmut Huber dead at 84 as All My Children actress mourns ‘extraordinary man’

SUSAN Lucci’s husband Helmut Huber has died at age 84 surrounded by family and loved ones.

The television producer passed peacefully in his sleep on Monday in Long Island, New York.

Susan, 75, and her late husband tied the knot in 1969, sharing over five decades together.

“A family man, he was a loyal friend, and loved them deeply,” a representative for the family explained.

“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.”

Helmut is survived by the All My Children star, as well as two sons, two daughters, eight grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.

The family has asked that instead of flowers, contributions be made to the American Stroke Association in support of stroke awareness and research.

Susan’s family offered a statement through her publicist, Jessica Sciacchitano, reading: “Helmut’s passing is a tremendous loss for all who knew and loved him. He was an extraordinary husband, father, grandfather, and friend.

“The family kindly asks for privacy during this incredibly difficult time.”
