FAMOUS GRAVES : Tim Horton | The Story of his Life , Restaurants, His Grave, and House

[@patbowman6723]

I heard you say Tim died and never got to see his business grow but, more importantly he never got to see his family grow. I love you channel, your honest, accurate and show your emotions. Thanks.

[@unicornprincess8896]

I'm in buffalo NY and tim Horton is iconic here

[@BadAss15-60]

I’m from New Brunswick Canada so I am used to seeing Timmy’s on every street corner.

[@kathy1001]

I live in Buffalo. I Drink Tim Hortons coffee everyday. It's really popular around here. It makes me so sad how Tim Horton died. 😢 Thanks for this great video Scott.

[@justine16364]

Hi Scott: Just wanted to pass on that the first Tim Hortons store on Ottawa Street in Hamilton Ontario was rebuilt and a museum of the history of Tim Horton and the stores along with many artifacts was added to a second story above the store, Admission is free to go upstairs and visit the museum. It opened in Januzry 2015. There is a statue of Tim Horton outside the store. Great way to enjoy a cup of coffee and browse this museum. Like your maple leaf face mask, Enjoyed learning more about Tim Horton! Great video!

[@dwarren1010]

Good call. Must visit

[@mariajeancroft4184]

Hey Scott. We love Tim Hortons in Western New York.

[@buffalobraves9]

Scott, thank you once again for these videos. I loved Tim. He played here in Buffalo from 1972 until his tragic death in 1974. I was in 4th grade and we found out the next day when our lunch lady told us. I watched the game the night before on Buffalo TV. Tim got the 3rd star that night even though he sat out the 3rd period due to his broken jaw he got earlier in the week at practice. My good friend Paul Wieland, who was the PR Director for the Sabres, got the call from the OPP around 4AM notifying him that Tim had died. It was Paul's job to notify Punch Imlach and the rest of the team. The Sabres had to play that night at home vs the Flames and rallied from a 4-1 deficit to tie the game. The players all wore black armbands and many of them wept throughout the game. The car he was driving was given to him by Punch Imlach as a bonus for not retiring. Supposedly, it haunted Punch until his own death. Tim meant so much to us down here in Buffalo. We miss him so much. Thank you again for showing me all these great sites of the people I loved. We will meet one day so I can thank you personally. Until then, be well.

[@leonardszubinski4709]

I remember that game well! The late Ted Darling, "voice of the Buffalo Sabres" broke down crying when the PA announcer called for a moment of silence. Both teams, the Buffalo Sabres and the Atlanta Flames wore black arm bands in memorial to the fallen Sabre. RIP Tim horton.

[@lorim.9680]

I live in western New York just a short drive from the Canadian border. We have Tim Horton's every where here. Drinking a cup now. Around here if anyone says they are going out for coffee, we pretty much know where ther are going. Better than Dunkin and Star bucks in my opinion. Another awesome video.

[@youknowcrimedontpay9257]

My dad was an art dealer and had many client in the NHL. Tim was one of his customers. I remember that morning waking up and hearing on the radio that Tim died in an auto accident on the QEW Highway in St. Catherine's Ont on Feb 21st, 1974. I was 12. He was driving his Ford Pantera that Punch Imlach bought him. Tim played for Buffalo and was headed back home to Buffalo after a game with the Leafs. My dad and I attended Tim's funeral. I remember the white hurst and many of the leafs were pallbearers. Above his grave was a green tent that protected the casket from snow and eliminates of the weather. For a full year after Tim passed away the Toronto Maple Leaf players all wore black arm banners in tribute to Tim. I think I was the only kid at the funeral which had hundreds of people in attendance. I have some photos of Tim and my dad and me and in some of the pictures was Frank Mahovlich who was also at my dad's gallery.

[@SCOTTONTAPE]

Wow ! Would love to see those photos! What great memory

[@sam73mck]

Been wanting to try Tim Hortons since you posted this video. Being in Scotland meant it was a little difficult until the chain came here. Had my first Hortons coffee and donuts today. Amazing!! We’re definitely going back….lots 😁

[@ronbonora7872]

One of the greatest of all time, without any doubt! RIP Mr. Tim Horton

[@JoeFromJoplinMO]

I had my first Cup of Timmies while visiting Abbotsford, B.C. in 2005, and it was, and is, the best coffee ever. I loved everything about the store and the people. I loved my time in BC, and hope to some day visit your stomping grounds. I still drink Tim's, and rarely switch up. Thanks for the visit, Scott.-Joe from Joplin MO

[@marypatkeens930]

Thank you for this video, Scott. When my husband and I traveled to Toronto, we were amazed at how many TH shops there were! It was great to hear his story.

FYI there's a great new video out by Kiefer Sutherland called Bloor St, it really pulled at my heart strings. I so love Toronto!

Hey Scott. Fellow Canadian here in S. Alberta. I found your channel awhile ago but I'm really loving your content more recently. I really appreciate the Canadian history, your doing a great job! I also want to send you my condolences as to your mom's passing . Our mothers passed the same month, mine on the 24th. And like you, I too could not be with her. My dad just passed on mother's day in May. I feel your pain, time doesn't heal, but it makes it a bit easier. Stay well.

[@elainebines6803]

I hope to visit one day, I'm from England and taste the coffee!. Two of his daughters died young, that's tragic too 😔

[@SCOTTONTAPE]

Yes I didn’t realize until doing the research that they passed so young. I hope you get to visit one day too Elaine!

We Have Tim Hortons all over here in Western New York. I love their coffee ☕. Actually I buy bags of Tim Hortons coffee at our local Wegmans and I make it every single day. 💘 love it. I also like their chicken soup and bagels.

[@dianemiller3844]

Good job Scott. I love Timmies too, I've been going to Timmies as far back as i can remember. I wish i could live in there. When my dog was alive he loved the timbits and he loved icecaps, When i used to get a turkey bacon club he would get all the turkey and bacon from the sandwich and left me with the rest. He was a timmies puppy. Saturday will be 2 years that he has passed i am going to get Timmies in rememberance in Freebee's memory.

[@tonyfarace4028]

Thank you for sharing, Scott! Tim will be forever a Canadian legend! Keep up the great work, my friend.

My dad met Tim Horton on several occassions when he worked at the parking lot by MLG the players used. He got an autographed stick and jersey from him. Said he was one of the nicest guys he ever met. Thanks for the tour, I will show this to my dad, he will love this.

I guess Tim Horton's is like what Casey's General Store is to the Midwest. They have good coffee, pizza and donuts and there's probably a dozen of them here in this town. Also, your accent is subtle. Sorta like someone from Nebraska. Thanks for sharing the history of Tim's.

No idea when as Australia has no intention of letting us out for a long time. Will happen one day. Sorry not been in touch. Some health issues and Mum is not the best.

I’m hoping you’re getting better. Glad to know you still watch the chats, please forgive me if I get a little risqué at times 😂😂. Wishing you and the family all the best as well and please get well soon. Hopefully this whole covid thing will end sooner than later and when you come to Toronto we will be drinking a LOT of Tim Hortons coffee. A LOT!! Much love, Scott

[@jdpeh4me]

Hey Scott. Very interesting video. I never knew who Tim Horton was. Didn't even know he was a hockey player! That's pretty cool. Gordie Howe had a short lived restaurant chain here in Michigan. It closed up after he died. Gordie Howe was a defenseman for the Detroit Red Wings back in the '50s, and for all I know, probably went up against Tim Horton and the Toronto Maple Leafs! Ain't hockey great?! I love it. Love your videos! Keep on rockin'!

[@ronbonora7872]

Horton was a defenseman and Howe was a winger! They were both great and tough as nails too! Howe, many would say is the GOAT of hockey!

[@billdeblaey6078]

Gordie was a right wing, and played defense on the power play and penalty killing. His restaurant was in Traverse City where he lived after retiring.
