Paul Howard was the husband to Isabel Howard, mother to Beverly Howard (later Crusher).
Paul died when Beverly was very young, leaving Beverly's grandmother, Felisa Howard, to care for her. (TNG: "Conundrum," "Sub Rosa")
- Paul's name was briefly glimpsed on Beverly's computer bio in "Conundrum." The circumstances surrounding the death of Beverly's parents are vague. It is possible they died at the fabled Arvada III disaster. However, Beverly said in "Sub Rosa" that she had relatively few memories of her parents compared to her grandmother, and she seemed to remember more about Arvada III in "The Arsenal of Freedom."
- An unseen invitation to Beverly and Jack Crusher's wedding created for the Picard family album in Star Trek Generations mistakenly shows Paul and Isabel as being alive in 2348, when Beverly was twenty-four years old.
