Three Stooges(On-Location)--Visiting Moe Howard's Resting Place!!--Visiting My Family Too!

[@drkmagneto]

Was very beautiful to go and visit your grandmother and great-grandmother. I was fortunate to visit my grandparents graves last year and my mother who passed away in 2018. It's good to honor your ancestors. He put smiles on billions of faces and still does! I'm sure he's smiling at all the love and laughs he's still getting 88 years later! As for my favorite Stooge, I like them all, but Curly was my favorite!

[@PAMAROSHOUSE]

Thank you 3 stooges for all the joy and laughs.tanks rick

[@briansangster6296]

Comedy is so important to me and Larry, Moe & Curly are on my Mount Rushmore of the greats. I'm enjoying watching all of the videos and really appreciated the insights. This video was a great tribute to Moe Howard. Your personal tribute to your grandmother and great-grandmother was very classy. They would be very proud of your valuable contribution of joy and education you give to people.

Hello Rick! Thanks for having a moment to let us know about your grandmother and great-grandmother, my grandma also pass away,we used to call her, Mamita,it was very thoughtful how you spoke of both of her, sorry my English Is not very good,also thanks for showing us Moe Howard's grave,I love the three stooges, he is one of my favorite.

[@scottlabissoniere1265]

If your grandma and great grandma had roles in determining the kind of person you are today Rick, then they were and are truly special ladies. Thanks so much for sharing this personal journey with us; I found it inspiring and uplifting. Being remembered fondly after death is the greatest of honors for everyone!

[@ricknineg]

+Scott LaBissoniere Thanks for those kind words Scott. They were great ladies who I aspire to emulate

[@kevinmiller6380]

​@@ricknineg Moe's real last name is spelled Horwitz, not Horowitz. Vladimir is the only person I can think of who spelled his last name Horowitz.

RIP MOE HOWARD ... 🌹 🌹 AND YOUR FAMILY RICK.. 🌹 🌹 I know Rick how you feel , my grand parents were the most important to me also . I miss them dearly 😢

[@wayne-brock7515]

Nice of you to go and pay your loved ones respect as you visiting them. I live about half a mile from my cemetery and I have my loved ones there and it has been awhile since I last went. I need to go visit them. And Moe Howard, I enjoyed that as well. My favorite Stooges is Moe.

[@jehobden]

Larry's my favorite Stooge. I hope you can visit his grave sometime.

[@hondaguy59]

Very tastefully done & thank you for sharing your Families history as well. ~ Cheers ~

[@ricknineg]

Im glad you enjoyed sharing an important part of my life

[@nealanpaulaking9708]

Glad your brought us along on this trip to visit loved ones, and Moe. I cried when you sat down and we could hear Moe in his stooge voice.

[@alexwolf3684]

I was more impressed with the visit to the graves of your Grandmother and Great-Grandmother than the visit to Mr. Howard. Thank you for sharing that experience. My Grandmother was the most important person in my life, ever. She basically raised me and she definitely molded me into the person I am. She passed in 1993 and I think about her everyday.

[@DMwwe101]

Thanks for sharing your abuela and bisabuela's grave! Sending much love and respect. And thanks for showing us Moe's resting place! Your videos are awesome!

[@sophiemorrison9820]

not necessarily a fan of moe howard however i do appreciate your love of the stooges. also, i consider it a privilege that you took me and your viewers to your family's graves. may they rest in peace. i also touch headstones and such. i've noticed people leaving pebbles on in-ground headstones as a sign of visitation even in non-jewish cemeteries where it is the custom. i respect people who honor their loved ones' memories in this way. i feel a sense of peace and comfort when i visit. it's a symbolic act that these people mattered and that they are still loved. thanks, rick.

[@ricknineg]

+sophie morrison Thanks for your kind words about my family. Very cool. I never knew what the coins were about until now. Thanks for that

[@kathleencovill3566]

Big fan. With that being said, I just watched this video, don't know how I missed it. Loved that you shared your Grandma and Great-Grandma. Thank you so much for this. Your love for your family shows in your kind nature.

[@fintan3563]

Thanks for sharing your grandmothers with us. My mom has been gone 45 years and I still visit her grave and leave flowers when I can.

[@ricknineg]

Very glad you saw this

[@aldomni45]

I saw Moe Howard in person years ago when he was making personal appearances over Christmas 🎄 break. He was at a local movie theater with the line going around the block

[@rhondashinn1371]

Very much enjoyed this video Rick, you are one awesome person xx

[@whats20buks57]

Policeman: Who's in that can !?! Shemp: Just garbage!! Moe: Slap !!!! Shemp: Ouch!!!!!

[@prncssdom]

I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing this side of yourself. It shows how much you value your subscribers. It is not easy losing a loved one. It's also nice to see you out and about. Your videos really make my day. My favorite stooge is Curly. 😊

[@ricknineg]

+Damalie M Thanks for the support and glad you like it Damalie

[@despinaxenoulis5904]

Your really very nice for sharing. This with us...BRAVO...For remembering your loved ones..GOD BLESS...Love from Greece

[@ricknineg]

+Despina Xenoulis Greetings from the US. Thanks!

[@flmlvr]

Been to Moe's grave myself. I suppose everybody noticed that next to Moe is his wife Helen - who died only 9 months later. I was 14 when Moe died and I remember it like yesterday. I was sad and all, but I understood that Moe wasn't young anymore. Remember, in the early 70s, Moe was very much in demand on talk shows, so I was fortunate enough to catch a lot of those appearances before he left. Very touching video Rick.

[@ricknineg]

+Charles Moran You essentially gave me the inspiration to go in your letter, Charles

[@markwilson8969]

thanks for sharing your family, Rick.

[@mayhemx9]

Great video thanks for sharing this all

[@ryan12101954]

Very respectfully and nicely done.

[@mellotronage7073]

Rick, I am enamored of your efforts. I want to say that your work is really enjoyable, humble & low key (not in your(our) face). The visititation of your family's final resting place is affirmation of your style. So is the choice to take us to see Moe's grave. Buy Robert Kurson's Three Stooges Encyclopdia, if you haven't already.... I just subscribed to you, as I find your vids being suggested to me, and I've watched a few and really enjoyed your efforts.... Might I also suggest watching The Rockford Files as well. This James Garner series ran 6 seasons on NBC from 1974-1980. It is a well written private detective series that even some younger folks are digging from what I read online lately. Yes, it's a detective show, but with a good dose of humor written in. Much like what James Garner did to the Western genre back in the 1950s with Maverick.... It might take a little time to grow on you, but by the 2nd season you should be fully up to speed. Actually, the 1st season is a bit weaker to subsequent seasons, if you ask me....

[@ricknineg]

Thanks so much for the amazing support and subscription! I will check out the Rockford files and the Stooges book you suggested. Thanks again!

[@daveharvey1141]

My condolences Rick for the loss of your family. I appreciate you stopping by your grandma and great-grandma's grave at the beginning. I also paid my respects to them with you. I always appreciate your positivity in your videos and encouraging all of us to stay hopeful and keep going. God bless you :)

[@ricknineg]

You are so very kind! Thank you, Dave!

[@daveharvey1141]

@@ricknineg You're very welcome Rick. God bless.

[@philmarasco7833]

Thanks for your work..good job buddy.

[@AlmaCherry]

you are so sweet. it oozes out on all your videos. thank you.

[@ricknineg]

+AlmaCherry Thanks Alma! Thats sweet of you to say. So glad you like my vids

[@tonycevallos7513]

You have the most beautiful soul. I moved out of Los Angeles two months ago to Albuquerque but I wished we could have met for lunch while I was there.

[@ricknineg]

+Tony Cevallos Thanks for your kind words

[@whats20buks57]

You're very lucky , I never knew my grandmother's or great grandmother's

[@johntuttle2825]

I love your channel. Three Stooges. Moe was wonderful. I would say visit Shemp or Curley next. Thanks! Take care.

[@Starswake]

You made me cry! And you made me laugh. Grandmas = unconditional love. Thanks for taking us along! Wonderful video! :-)

[@ricknineg]

+Starswake Aww, well I am glad it was touching for you. My eyes got a bit fuzzy when I was there as well. Moe's grave made me stop and take a moment as well

[@BrundleflyNJ]

Thanks Rick. I enjoyed this video and seeing your warmth and caring. My son was lucky to have had both sets of grandparents growing up. My favorite stooge was Curly.

[@ricknineg]

+BrundleflyNJ Thanks so much for your comment and support. Im glad I shared this side with everyone

[@kasylong3469]

This was such a sweet video. I know how you feel. My grandpa passed away in 2015 and I constantly think about him and keep him in my heart. This was a beautiful tribute to your grandma and great grandma.

[@ricknineg]

+Kasy Long Thanks Kasy. So glad you enjoyed it!

[@erikwilliams5684]

Your ENTIRE Video Was Very Nice, Rick!!! 👍 Thanks A Lot!!! ☺ My Favorite Stooge Is Curly!!! 😉

[@ricknineg]

I appreciate that Erik. I will have to go visit him as well :)

[@johntuttle2825]

Hi, Rick. Good video. You should talk about the three stooges episode idel Roomers. One of my favorites of the three stooges. Take care.

[@TVKahuna]

Thanx for sharing Rick! Keep up the great work.... Didja see the headstone near Moe's of a lady who was quoted on her stone "If this is heaven, where's the chocolate?" No kidding!

[@ricknineg]

+TVKahuna I didnt notice it haha

[@ricknineg]

+STEELCITYMAN I appreciate it

[@davirabbruzzi2]

That was such a beautiful video. I hope you visit Curley or maybe Shemp gave site too! Thanks Rick for doing a good job on the video.

[@ricknineg]

+Davir Abbruzzi Thanks so much! Stay tuned as more to come in the future

[@carag5041]

I can tell your grandmother and great grandmother were very important to you by the way you spoke about them. Thanks for sharing that. It`s also great for those of us , as you said, not on the west coast to be able to see Moe`s grave through you. I would love to see you visit the cemetery where both Curly and Shemp are, or Larry`s grave. Whichever you do first!

[@ricknineg]

+Cara G Thanks for your words and the input! :)

[@melissasalisbury1562]

Great video once again. I feel a bit embarrassed admitting that it made me a little emotional seeing you visit Moe's grave. Could you go visit Curly next?

[@ricknineg]

+Melissa Salisbury Do not be embarrassed. I think it was a very therapeutic event for me too

[@richardcooper4541]

Great video rick!

[@ricknineg]

+Richard Cooper Thank you Richard!

[@katiebarnett3135]

great video but i would be scared to go alone. brave man

[@ricknineg]

+katie barnett actually, it was very peaceful and quiet there

[@Marz5004]

Great job Rick.

[@ricknineg]

+Marz5004 Thank you!

[@Marz5004]

rick nineg you're the best ☺

[@yehoshuacirt8645]

I am sorry Moe and Shemp didn't even make note of their real names on their markers. I see Curley on the other hand is in reality not Jerome. That was adopted maybe by parents but probably by Ellis Island officials to hasten assimilation, as the family immigrated from Russia. His name is actually Yehudah (Judah) Leib and he is from the special tribe of Levy. And because it is on his burial stone as is only proper, we can now know. Thank you for the video. I just now went to look up on Wikipedia. Moe was Moses, so Moshe. And Shemp was Samuel, so Shmuel in Hebrew. Nicest of names.

[@ladyagnes7781]

Before I was born, my grandmother died and my great-grandmother died a year later she my mother said she kind of gave up. Very similar to your family only I never got to meet them they died when my mother was in her twenties The beautiful carvings on your family's gravestones are beautiful.

[@StarBlecch2]

Don't have a favorite Stooge, I have an especial fondness for Shemp. 🤗

[@ladyagnes7781]

I remember the announcements when Moe's died & when Larry died. I felt I lost great friends that I never met in person.

[@mxlance1]

Hi, Rick. Thanks for this episode. Are your relatives interned at the Forest Lawn Cemetery in Glendale? I've been there and the surroundings looked similar to parts of it. Moe Howard is at the In Culver City Hillside Memorial Park Cemetery for anyone in the Los Angeles who wants to go over there. Hope you visit the other cemeteries that Larry, Curly and Shemp are interned. Start with any of them you want. Looking forward to the continuing episodes.

[@ricknineg]

+Michael A Williams Thanks Michael. No, my family is at Holy Cross Cemetery, Where Charles Boyer, John Candy and Bela Lugosi are. Stay tuned!

[@fishead1967]

The funny thing about Moe was although he was like always hitting his brothers on screen but in real life he was there protector and he helped them figure out finances...babe was my favorite stooge aka curly....

[@thegailyreview5520]

I believe the huge water fountain when you enter Moes cemetery is where Al Jolson is buried, you can see it from the freeway

[@ricknineg]

+David Brian You are right David. So beautiful!

[@aldomni45]

It’s interesting that Moe was interred with his stage name with out including his real name. Also in Philadelphia there is a Mural of Larry Fine you may want to check out if you ever come to visit Philadelphia.🦅🔔

[@despinaxenoulis5904]

CURLY....!!!

[@ricknineg]

+Despina Xenoulis :)

[@jonathanzuckerman520]

It would be interesting to see Curly’s grave, particularly as his name is listed as “Jerome Horwitz.” It would also be nice to see Solomon and Jennie’s graves if they were hurried in the area.

[@ricknineg]

+Jonathan Zuckerman Stay tuned!

[@kevinmiller6380]

That's the problem with cemeteries-they're so big that unless you were there for the graveside service, you'd be wandering around the cemetery all day.

[@superzachbros123]

My dad took me there for my birthday

[@ricknineg]

+super zach bros 123 You are very lucky!

[@childofhashem7350]

Thanks for sharing.... I see that your family is Catholic. And Moe obviously was Jewish. Were Larry, Curly and Shemp also Jews? Shalom!
