It is really sad, he definitely opened my eyes up to many of the places, the history and most of all, the people that helped make California what it was and is today. The guy had one of the greatest jobs in the world.

It was also just his luck that the old KCET studios where he had an office was located right next door to the Tiki Ti!

This photo of the Tiki Ti's west wall was taken today by Mike Buhen Jr. It confirms that Huell experienced that "Tiki Mood" early on, courtesy of Ray and Mike Buhen, and most likely while sippin' on a Mai Tai or two after a tough day of filming in LA! :)

RIP Huell...you were AMAZING!!!
