A gathering
Roger Carlson
IRVINE - Friends and family of Howard L. Handy, who died from an
apparent heart attack last week, will be gathering Saturday afternoon at
2 at The Meadows Mobile Home Park at 14851 Jeffrey Rd., where Mr. Handy
and his wife of over 60 years, Lois, had been residing for the past 19
years.
It will be an informal setting for what most likely will be an
overflow crowd for the tribute at the site’s clubhouse.
Mr. Handy, who was 84, was a sportswriter for the Daily Pilot from
1969-82 and was a familiar sight to many in sports into the 21st century.
Always a friendly sort with the work ethics of a giant, the World War
II veteran left his prints left from the Compton Herald to the Daily
Pilot, from the Rams press box to the Long Beach Grand Prix, from
Irrelevant Week in Newport Beach to the sands of Tarawa. And many more.
He is survived by his wife, Lois, four sons, five grandchildren and
two great grandchildren.
