Another great video thanks for sharing best wishes from Thomas costello in Ireland looking forward to more of your videos videos

[@famousgraveswithdiamonddave]

Hi Thomas. I appreciate the support! Ireland cool!

[@uncledaveyfromthenavy5452]

DD, this video has the tallest people and the tallest monuments all in one!

[@famousgraveswithdiamonddave]

Excellent point!

[@FredCemeteryAdventures]

I remember Bob Braun very well and he mentions my Hometown of Anderson Indiana

[@famousgraveswithdiamonddave]

I was thinking of you, Fred when I saw this.

[@cherylkucharski5740]

Hi Dave! Never heard of Lyons, Braun or Crowley. Thanks for the clips and info on them. This was a beautiful video, felt like I was walking along with you.

[@famousgraveswithdiamonddave]

Good to hear. I'm edited Heimlich and others this week. This trip went perfectly and every step was right on time. It was good to meet subs, but all but Fred was camera-shy. Headstones above ground caught hunting time in half.

Thanks Dave! I learned a lot from this video.

[@famousgraveswithdiamonddave]

Nice to hear, thank you.

[@cookie4wookiee]

[@famousgraveswithdiamonddave]

[@ToddEWalnuts]

Hello David! Happy summer to you friend. Another excellent show. Glad to see the Midwest getting some KZbin love in this series. Always enjoy your vids and a thumbs up as always too! You are really doing an excellent job with these vids. Keep it going sir!

[@famousgraveswithdiamonddave]

Todd! Thanks, my friend! You are always awesome.

Very cool video Dave, I really enjoyed it. I remember in 1970 or so I was about 10 years old my mom brought home a paperback version of the Guinness book of world records. I just remember being in awe of Robert Wadlows picture of him standing next to people who barely reached his waist. I can’t remember is sandy was in the book or not but she may have been. It’s fascinating.to see where they are buried. Good job Dave and see you on the next adventure, God bless.

[@famousgraveswithdiamonddave]

Thanks for leaving a kind comment. I think Sandy said she is in the book. I remember it too. I was 11 in 1970.

[@TheSassy777]

Really enjoyed this one Dave. Shame Robert died so young. He was a Gentle Giant.

[@famousgraveswithdiamonddave]

Thanks Gary. I enjoyed the Midwest trip.

[@dano8203]

I remember as kid reading about Robert in the Guinness Book of World Records. Poor Sandra Allen! She certainly had a good attitude in front of the camera. I can only imagine her heart break from childhood, teenage years and as an adult. Proctor and Gamble is not something you hear about anymore.

[@famousgraveswithdiamonddave]

Thanks, friend. Appreciate you viewing and leaving comments.

[@monsterglo]

Thank you so much, felt like I was walking with you learning so much. Guess Henry Kroger got the last laugh on the success of retail 🤗

[@famousgraveswithdiamonddave]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@carmenlessard4925]

Very interesting!

[@famousgraveswithdiamonddave]

Thanks!

[@paulatenney6494]

Good job & very nice dave😎

[@famousgraveswithdiamonddave]

Thanks Paula.

[@ToddEWalnuts]

I meant to add that it was pretty heartbreaking to hear Sandy say her love life was zero, ad she had never been on a date. Poor lady. She seemed so sweet.

[@famousgraveswithdiamonddave]

Yes and always was to the end.

[@bettyfourman5438]

This was a great one. So many details.

[@famousgraveswithdiamonddave]

Thanks! Appreciate you viewing and leaving a comment.

[@jhudson204]

[@MattJ1977]

I grew up in Portsmouth Ohio in the 70s. My mom watched Bob Braun everyday. He would raise money for kids at Christmas time with the Ruth Lyons Christmas Fund.

[@famousgraveswithdiamonddave]

Nice!

[@mskrisclark684]

First cemetery grass needed to be mowed. How many cemeteries in Cincinnati Dave?

[@famousgraveswithdiamonddave]

Hi Kris. I'm not sure. During this trip, I went to 5.

[@sortoftubular]

Great video. One small correction. You meant to talk about Powel Crosley, Jr., who died in 1961. But you showed the foot stone of his father, which is a few feet from the correct one.

[@famousgraveswithdiamonddave]

Thanks!

[@Dana-fn5zt]

Don't say that bad word "copyright"!! Losing a child is so hard on a parent - that part of your visit made me so sad 🙏🏼

[@famousgraveswithdiamonddave]

You mean at Kenny Price?
