Goodbye @HuellHowser. Thank you for all you did for us and for all of California.
When I was a kid, Huell Howser flew over my neighborhood in a hot air balloon. Low enough so we could stand on the railroad tracks and talk to him.
Gee whiz, will you look at that. That's amazing! - Huell Howser, RIP.

Huell Howser was one of the greatest comedians of his generation. That he seemed blissfully unaware of this made him all the more hilarious.

Good night, Huell Howser. I am going to really miss you. So far as I'm concerned, you are part of California's Gold.
