RIP Huell Howser. YOU were "California's Gold".

I got to meet him once. He was every bit the "young boy, full of wonder" that he portrayed on his PBS show.

RIP Mr. Howser. May you find peace and wonder in the Great Beyond.

And a more genuine and gracious individual you'll never see.

Even though our local station cut way back on the CG shows we've always managed to catch one every week or so.

We'll miss him terribly.

on TV or in person. Gracious to a fault.

Yeah, I'll miss his shows. He's truly one of the irreplaceable people.

Through his enthusiastic journeys in my native state, I have experienced places I will never get to travel to but I am so glad he took me there. I only hope someone can possibly carry on his legacy. Thank you Hugh for all your sharing and caring.
