He joined the Free Press as a copyboy in September 1941 at age 14, was a full-time sports writer until 1992, and continued to be associated with the paper as a columnist until 2006. Puscas was born in Detroit in 1927. His father Nicholas Puscas was a grocer on Detroit's east side.[1] After working at the Free Press as a teenager, Puscas joined the military during World War II. Puscas had his first byline with the Free Press in October 1946.[2] In his first few years with the paper, he was a student at Wayne University,[3] and he covered the Wayne Tartars, University of Detroit, Lawrence Institute of Technology, and Detroit high school athletic events.[4][5][6] When the Fort Wayne Pistons moved to Detroit in 1957, Puscas was assigned to the team's beat.[7][8][9] Puscas also began handling the Detroit Lions beat for the Free Press in 1957.[10][11] Puscas' "Love Letters", a weekly column in which Puscas responded with humor to letters from readers, began running in the Free Press in June 1959 and continued for nearly 50 years.[12][13] In his obituary of Puscas, Matt Fiorito wrote that reader letters "were answered cryptically, acerbically, sarcastically and wittily by Puscas, and readers loved it."[13] Puscas was inducted into the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame in 2004.[13] In his last column, on May 9, 2006, Puscas wrote: "So this is it. That's all there is. Nothing left. Nothing left to do, nothing left to say. All done. Sixty-five years' worth. Imagine that."[13] In his later years, Puscas lived in Beverly Hills, Michigan. He died in 2008 of congestive heart failure at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Pontiac; he was 81 years old when he died.[14] Selected stories by George Puscas
