Look Louie I’m gone! RIP Huell
During the LA riots, I remember seeing footage of him and some of his neighbors confronting looters at a local supermarket and stopping them from looting the place.
He was a good guy.
Always enjoyed his shows........
Sad news. I lived most of my life in Southern California, but I wasn’t raised there. I learned more about the history of California and places all over the state from him than any other source. He seemed like a genuinely nice guy, too.
I liked the shows, but his voice made my skin crawl,,,
So long dude.
Sad to hear...I always loved “California’s Gold.” He had such an upbeat and happy attitude with all the people he visited and chatted with. I learned a lot about my state (at least the way it used to be in the good ole days).
OH how sad
RIP Huell
I just hear on KCAL news
He retired there been rumor that he may been in bad health KCET is mum about it

“How about that!”
Huell Howser was a Marine.
I don’t give a crap if he was gay or not, he had a darn good show.
RIP, Sir!
I LOVE California’s Gold. Heard this on John & Ken’s show when I came home. So sorry...he was only 67.
After Dr George Fishbeck and Christine Lund left the SoCal airwaves, I tuned out.
I will really miss him. The state of California is suddenly a whole lot less “golden” without him. He had a wonderful way of inviting us to wake up to the interesting and beautiful things around us and I loved his attitude of gratitude. He seemed to find people genuinely interesting and saw the humor and nobility in everyday stuff. One of my favorite episodes is the one where he visited a Pasadena post office where a lady had been bringing roses to the staff for decades. All the employees and post office patrons left the post office every day with a smile on their faces and the roses were beautiful.
We were in SoCal for 19 years. So sorry to hear of his passing. Favorite California’s Gold? Three that come to mind are the Monarchs that come to the Pismo Beach area every year. We have always wanted to go see them and someday may get there. Loved the one on the Fresnel Lens that was found and refurbished. I am the proud owner of a miniature Fresnel Lens, thanks for piquing our interest in them Huell! And another one was the sculpted trees. I know I will have to look up again where those are. So sad that Huell is no longer with us. His charm and enthusiasm for the obscure in our (former)) state enhanced our viewing for years!
Huell was great. Learned a lot about California from his show. He was a positive and enthusiatic voice in a cynical world. In a way, he was a real rebel.
Very sad. I’ll miss Huell Howser’s Tennessee twang.
He was one of the few bright spots in California media.
