Howser was cremated and had his ashes spread off the LA County coast, TMZ adds.
Los Angeles City Councilman Tom LaBonge was scheduled to host a public memorial this afternoon for the longtime California Gold host at
the Griffith Observatory. Shuttles are set to whisk fans, family and friends to the observatory in time for a sunset memorial.
Looks like Huell ordered himself up a beautiful day.
