Certified Baby and Puppy Whisperer, He could fix literally anything, Knew all the words to every song by the Doors, Can quote episodes of California Gold, Loved red meat and red potato salad. Dad, you were so stubborn, funny, smart, handsome, kind, giving, strong, talented, selfless and wise. But your best quality is how much you cared about, sacrifice for, and loved your family and your country. Thank you for making @ragtymestation a mom, for giving me great siblings and a great work ethic. Thanks for teaching me how to throw a football and change a tire. Thanks for giving me the nickname "Lumpy", the shoulders of a line backer, and the hands of a power forward. Thanks for teaching me to stick to what I believe in and to never let other people's opinions sway my own. You're like, a really great father. I love you, Ed Largey, time to "break on through to the other side".

Glen Walter Haws, BHS 1953

Glen Walter Haws, BHS 1953 

Sept. 24, 1935 — Feb. 4, 2026

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our father, Glen Walter Haws, who passed away on Feb. 4, 2026, at the age of 90.

Glen was born on Sept. 24, 1935, in Burbank, California, at the home of his grandparents, to parents Glen and Maxine (Odermatt) Haws. A lifelong resident of Burbank, he took great pride in the city that shaped him. One of his favorite childhood stories was serving as paperboy to heavyweight boxing champion Jeff Jeffries — a story he never tired of telling.

He attended Burbank High School, where he met the love of his life, Beverly (Danell) Haws. After graduating in 1953, Glen enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. Following boot camp at Camp Pendleton, he returned home to elope with his 17-year-old sweetheart before being deployed to Japan and Korea. In 1956, they welcomed their first son, John, while living in a trailer at Camp Pendleton.

After his honorable discharge from the Marines in 1956, Glen worked as an apprentice machinist at Mitchell Cameras in Glendale before achieving what he considered his true calling. On Sept. 1, 1957, he was hired as a firefighter for the city of Burbank — becoming a proud second-generation Burbank firefighter, following in the footsteps of his father, who joined the department in 1943.

In those early years, when firefighter pay was modest, Glen worked multiple jobs to provide for his growing family. He drove his Model A Ford pickup to local dairies, loaded it with manure, and sold it door-to-door, spreading it on lawns throughout the neighborhood. He also worked as a plasterer and painter — doing whatever it took to build a stable life for his family.

In 1959, their second son, James, was born. The following year, Glen purchased a home on Kenneth Road in Burbank, where he would live for the rest of his life. Robert was born in 1962, and their daughter Linda (Wright) in 1968, completing their family of four children.

Over his 40-year career with the Burbank Fire Department, Glen rose through the ranks, promoting to engineer and later to captain in 1973. Being a firefighter was not just his profession — it was his dream. He loved the camaraderie, the service, and the stories that came with the job. Though he retired in 1998 due to a medical condition, it was a career he never truly wanted to leave.

Glen was a storyteller at heart. He cherished sharing memories of growing up in Burbank and recounting his years on the fire department. His life was rooted in family, hard work, and dedication to his community.

He is survived by his children: John and daughter-in-law Kathy; Robert and daughter-in-law Terrie; and Linda and son-in-law Mark Wright; seven grandchildren; eleven great-grandchildren; and his sister, Donna Edwards. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Beverly, in 2009, and his son James in 2025. Glen’s legacy lives on in the family he built, the city he loved, and the department he proudly served.

Julia Ann Pollino Howick, BHS 1965

August 31, 1947 — February 12, 2026

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Julia Ann Howick, who was called to be with the Lord on February 12, 2026, in North Hollywood, California. Her spirit will forever resonate in the hearts of those she cherished.

Julia is lovingly remembered by her family, including her daughter Tina and her husband Chris, her daughter Dana, her son Johnathon and his wife Terry, and her two beloved grandchildren, Skyler and Tyler. Each of them carries a piece of her warmth and laughter, a living legacy of a mother and grandmother who dedicated her life to nurturing and supporting her loved ones.

Born in Jamestown, New York, to John and Rose Pollino, Julia’s journey began before her family moved to Burbank, California, where she grew up and proudly graduated from Burbank High School. It was in this vibrant community that she forged lifelong friendships and laid the foundation for her future.

After completing her education, Julia found her soulmate in Robert (Bob) Howick, and they entered into a beautiful marriage filled with love and adventure. During Bob's service in the U.S. Navy, they embraced the joys of living in San Diego before returning to Burbank to nurture their growing family.

A woman of boundless spirit, Julia took immense joy in spending time with her family, traveling the world, and cultivating connections with friends, both near and far. Her unyielding devotion to her role as a wife, mother, and grandmother was evident in all that she did. Julia’s warmth, grace, and indomitable presence will be profoundly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Funeral services to celebrate her life will be held at Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills on March 4, 2026, where family and friends are invited to gather in remembrance of a remarkable woman who brought joy and love to so many lives.
