Maybe someone will do an FA in the future and name it something in his honor.

the best of parody is lavished upon him, the kind that brims with cheer and respect

I loved him, he was so excited about the most mundane things and then... Bam!!! With his manner, Huell will get someone to open those unknown places, like the underground station in L.A. that is truly wondrous. I don't think anyone else could sweet talk them into showing it. Only Huell because he really was interested.

I'm truly sad to hear he has left us. I've always enjoyed his shows. Truly enthusiastic and it was very contagious. The Man truly seemed to have fallen in love with California. I think I remember him saying he was former Marine and that he had spent time at Camp Pendleton.
RIP Huell

The show about Mt. Conness and the glacier was with my old Geology Prof, Dr. D.D.Trent. He said Huell was a hoot. He will be missed.

I was riffing on Huell Howser one afternoon at the bridge to the Pt. Bonita lighthouse. The docent (my victim) nearly collapsed laughing. Apparently H.H. had filmed out there a week or two prior, and I had just nailed it. R.I.P. Huell, you'll be missed.

Anyone can do a show on Yosemite or Sequoia , but Huell went to the forgotten, insignificant, and borderline mundane places in CA . I always wondered how he managed to stay so enthusiastic and upbeat when talking to some old timer or looking at some dusty old can .
I'll miss you Huell ...

a friend to all of California, the best representative we've ever had.
Also someone who seemed to find the best, everywhere.

When Huell Howser came to Tuolumne to film California's Gold, i didn't even know who he was.
Years later i finally got a television, and had fun watching a bunch of his shows.
In 2005, i got to met him in person while he was filming an episode of his show in Chico.
He was a pleasure to met, and he signed the cd copy of the show...........very nice man...
so long, Huell...)-;
RIP ...............

OK, only Huell could bring me out of Taco Stand winter hibernation... genuine, enthusiastic... he was the real deal. He was a big piece of California's Gold! This is like losing a family member. Chokes me up. I remember seeing him at the opening of the YCA's Granite Frontiers opening reception at the Autry and being too shy to go say hello. What was I thinking???? I have always said I have had no regrets in my life, but this may be an exception.
The best tribute to Huell I can think of is to be like him: Welcoming, interested in others, genuinely enthusiastic, and curious. Some of you here definitely have it in you... I've seen it! Keep the magic alive!
Here is a nice obituary from the LA Times:
Heull Howser Dies at 67
RIP.
