The Stern family moved to Roosevelt, New York in 1955 where Howard attended Washington-Rose Elementary School and Roosevelt Junior-Senior High School. Seeing his child’s desire to be on the radio, Ben set up a tape machine, microphone, and turntable in their basement, allowing young Howard to play at make-believe. But as Howard has grown up, he and his father have developed a somewhat complex relationship.

In interviews, Howard has said that he wishes his father spent more quality time with him, instead of yelling at him and calling him a ‘moron’ all the time.
