Paul Howard, the only son of Three Stooges member Moe Howard and narrator of the 2015 docuseries "Hey Moe, Hey Dad!", died this week at age 91. He lived on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
C3 Entertainment, which owns The Three Stooges license and brand, announced his death. Howard was the last remaining son of the original comedy team that included Moe, his brothers Curly and Shemp, and Larry Fine.
Since Moe's death in 1975, Paul Howard preserved his father's legacy by connecting with generations of Stooges fans at conventions and events, sharing stories and memories about Moe, Uncle Shemp, and Uncle Curly.
The docuseries "Hey Moe, Hey Dad!" featured rare archival footage, personal family accounts, and interviews with members of the Howard, Fine, and DeRita families, as well as fans including Whoopi Goldberg and Leonard Maltin. The series is available on The Three Stooges+ YouTube channel.
Moe married Helen Schonberger in June 1925. The couple had two children: Joan, born in April 1927, and Paul, born on July 8, 1935. Helen died six months after Moe, and Joan died in September 2021 at age 94.
Paul previously lived in Rifton, New York, for more than 40 years before relocating to Manhattan. His survivors include his wife Joanne, his daughter Jennifer, his nephew Jeffrey, and his cousin Janie Howard Hanky, daughter of Curly.
