Howard Stern’s beloved father, Ben Stern, recently passed away at the age of 99.

68-year-old radio presenter SiriusXM revealed the sad news in an interview with local Hamptons store Dan’s documentsbut he gave no details of his father’s death.

“I recently lost my father, he was 99,” said Stern, before announcing that he was working on a special project to honor his late father.

Stern has revealed that the project is sure to awaken his creative juices.

While he’s best known for interviewing some of the world’s biggest names, one of the presenter’s hidden talents is painting.

In fact, he makes good use of this skill when he revealed his plans to paint the barn with a tie for his dad.

“Next: Corwith Barns,” he said of his upcoming project. “I’ve made a few smaller paintings of the barns, but this one is a bigger size.”

He continued: “The foot is not there anymore, but I have photographed it many times and I take a large picture that hopefully captures every cracked plank in this vanishing structure.”

“I’m not sure how old these barns were, but I think painting the barns is a tribute to him and all those who get old and then disappear,” added Stern.
