This magnate founded the famous motel chain of the same name; his grandfather, Howard Deering Johnson, started the restaurant chain which launched the empire in the early 1930's and became famous for its menu of ice cream flavors decades before Baskin-Robbins. Reclusive as a result of his wealth, his existence is not even publically acknowledged by the company as a means of safeguarding his person. He says he's glad there's a major league baseball player by the same name around to take some of the heat off him.
Shy and modest, Howard enjoys cooking and tinkering with electronics (a skill he picked up in the Army Reserve).
