Huell Howser Memorial Set for Tuesday at Griffith Observatory

 

KNX is reporting that a memorial for Huell Howser will now be held on Tuesday, Jan. 15. Tom LaBonge's office tipped of KNX Wednesday morning, although a family spokesman had said there would be no private or public services for Howser. The Griffith Observatory is located in LaBonge's city council district 4. Shuttle buses will be provided from the Greek Theater to the Observatory according to KNX, though no other details about how to attend are yet available. Howser's death deeply affected both new and long-time Southern Californians and became a national story. Readers also shared their favorite Huell Howser memories, which you may read here.
