Tiny Tim DIED ON STAGE and FUNERAL - Dearly Departed Tours

[@badlt.8029]

Tiny Tim lived in my neighborhood (Washington Heights) in NYC when I was 12-13. I’m 75 now, and remember that he was a really nice man. My friends and I would flag him down on the streets and someone would call out to him, “Hey Herbie, sing us a song.” He would take his ukulele out of its case and play it while singing. Some people made fun of him, but the kids really enjoyed his performances. RIP Tiny Tim!

I had the extreme pleasure of meeting Tiny, briefly after seeing him in concert in Branson Missouri on Feb. 3rd, 1993. He was signing autographs after the concert and i was standing there talking to him while he signed a picture for me! My mother who attended the concert with me, had never been a fan of Tiny's, gained a new respect and love for him. Also, he put on a most entertaining show that night, which is all Mr. Khaury wanted to do! God Bless Tiny Tim!

He was backed by a great band out of Denton, Texas named Brave Combo. There are 14 tracks on it total. Most of them Mr. Tim sang in his normal and only one or two in his famed falsetto. I miss him still.

I met Tiny Tim several times in The New England area in the early to mid 90’s. He would always call me Mr. Richard whenever he saw me. When I saw him at Spooky World in Berlin,MA just after he did the Howard Stern New Year’s Eve pay per view he was on a career resurgence. I got to see him a couple times at a small club in Walpole,MA which was a very intimate setting. Tiny would give his best whether there were 5,000 or 50 people. I brought several friends with me one night who were like the poster of this video,they were there to mock and jeer. However when you met this man and saw him perform you got a totally explosive show and after the show when he did his meet and greet you saw a very cordial and respectful human being who treated his fans with the utmost of respect and humility.

[@paperboy8865]

I had the opportunity to see Tiny Tim during a visit to Spooky World, billed as “America’s only haunted theme park” in Massachusetts during Halloween not long before he died. They had him performing on a small stage near the lines for admission where you would watch him for free while you waited to get it. Many were too young to know who he was, perhaps thinking he was not a celebrity but rather part of the “haunted attractions” at the amusement park. But others were thrilled to be entertained by the once iconic entertainer, who seemed to be just as happy as if he were performing to a sold out crowd. His falsetto may not have been what it once was but he took his talent seriously & seemed to genuinely enjoy being on stage nonetheless. It was an amazing venue with a haunted hayride thru an actual forest, several truly scary haunted houses, all the traditional greasy food & even a raffle to win a casket, which you could also pay to be photographed in! And then there were the celebrities. It was a very casual setting where you could meet & talk at length to a list of B movie actors that included Traci Lords, looking gorgeous as always & the legendary Linda Blair, who was incredibly sweet & charming. I suppose it is sad that unlike the paid attractions Tiny Tim was relegated to little more than window dressing for the hundreds of people standing in line waiting to hand over wads of cash for a few hours of fun but I was happy to have had the chance to see the entertainer who as Scott said once filled the seats in Vegas at the height of his fame. A very kind & respectful tribute Scott. Thanks for sharing & thanks to Tiny Tim for the simple joy he gave to so many back in the day. He may not have had a healthy heart but he certainly had a kind one. ✌🏻❤️🙏

[@LiberaceProtege]

I performed onstage with Tim in 1980 in California and while he was quirky and maybe a bit odd I can tell you without reservation that he was 100% exactly the same offstage as he was onstage. What you saw was exactly who he was. You cannot say that about any other celebrity performer. In the 1980s he was getting $5,000 per show (two shows per night back then too). Not bad for 1980. He was a gay man. Because of his religious background he was self loathing and deeply troubled about his gay side and that is a shame. Tim preferred (nearly) anonymous liaisons with men he met here and there. I witnessed that. It's true he did in fact carry around a brown paper bag all day everywhere he went that contained his beloved ukulele. It is not true he wore a tie and suspenders all day. He wore a collared dress shirt, usually white during the day. It is also true he wanted to be buried with his ukulele - and he was. I especially appreciate the words contained in his eulogy. They really captured all there was to know about the good, kind and innocent man that he was.

I was at the ukulele expo where he had the heart attack and fell on stage. I was working at a music store in Maine at the time, and a group of us went down to set up and run a small booth selling ukulele's and other stringed instruments. One of the guys brought a video camera. He recorded us all meeting and interacting with Tiny Tim. Then he filmed the show. When Tiny Tim went down, we all thought he was going to die. I am sad to say this really pleased the videographer. The whole way home all he talked about was how much money he was going to get from the tape. I never got a copy of at least my portion, meeting Tiny Tim. He had sold it to some tabloid and didn't bother making a copy. I don't know how much they gave him, but when I brought it up he seemed sour.

[@JSB1882]

Tiny Tim died in my town of Minneapolis. He married a local gal and he was seen all over town. I have a couple stories about him. I remember in about 1970 I got his autograph, and he was so nice and drew a little caricature of himself. Later in life my friend, who was a musician, used to tell a story of how he ran into Tiny Tim at a local gas station. My friend used to play 1920s music, so he approached Tiny Tim. He was a genius about this decade of music and they talked at great length about the music. He talked so much that my friend had to tell him he had to go. When has a celebrity ever had a fan run away? I had a friend in the ER when they brought Tiny Tim in and she said never in their careers had they ever received a thank you note from anyone, but Tiny Tim's wife wrote a beautiful three page letter. I tell people that he is buried in Lakewood Cemetery in between Hubert Humphrey and Paul Wellstone - which is a lie though all three are buried there.

Always loved his music but I never knew he died in my city of Minneapolis. I wasn’t yet alive but the church I grew up with every Sunday and Wednesday was the basilica of st Mary. Wow I am so surprised to be learning this all in 2024. RIP to a beautiful soul.

New found respect for one of our quirkier celebs of the 60's to the 90's!! Thanks for all the fun facts about his personal life and the details of his final moments. Kudos for living a life true to yourself! 😉

[@elainelott9916]

This was such a wonderful update !! Didn't know all that about him . You presented a great video of a truly unusual man . Thank you for the nice biography!!

[@vonitadustylgreen2914]

It's so sad they treated him that bad. I hope they never forgot what they did to him He was unique and quirky but my mom and I loved him. I hope they are together in Heaven. RIP Tiny Tim

[@tysmom76]

Lol I loved Tiny Tim, thank you for giving him this awesome video montage

[@danielroncaioli6882]

He was “sick” is a common complaint while having a myocardial infarction. His stumbling, unsteadiness…..having worked as a Paramedic for 20 years, I would ask when the “I’m sick” started and base my treatment from that time of onset.

[@kiminelson9416]

I saw him every year on Mother’s Day at the tiki bar in the Florida keys , I loved watching him

[@larryrobinson6914]

Remember him in early days in Village dives. Nice man never hurt nobody glad he went out with his boots on.

I loved Tiny Tim. I was pretty young when my Mom watched him get married on the Johnny Carson show. He was abit odd but there was something so loving about him.

[@PuntaPacifica507]

I met Tiny Tim in the coliseum book store (nyc)around 1986. A sweeter kinder man I have ever met. Chatted up about life and wedding on laugh in. I turned and said my goobye wishing him well. In the next aisle..I met John Houseman…wow what a day.

[@carolbrowning7532]

Thank you so much for documenting the life of Tiny Tim. I watched his wedding to his first wife on TV. I was a young teenager about 16. I have always wondered what happened to him. Now I know. So great of you to share all this information.

I saw Tim at an outdoor tulip festival and he was the most gracious man you'd hope to find. A whole day of playing 'Tiptoe' over and over and over again, posing for photos, signing autographs, crowded by fans, he was relaxed and smiling.

[@jenniferholden9397]

Even over here in England he was well liked, we do love eccentrics. He did no harm just made us smile.

[@JonnyTheLeprechaun]

We don't know at all who that band leader was, but we have not forgotten you, Tiny.

[@bella2304]

A lifetime of kindness and humility, a legacy long remembered by the lives he touched. Peace, Grace and Mercy forevermore

[@clark5242]

Thank you Christian for this, and thank you Scott for the wonderful heartfelt respect and love you shared.

[@drkmagneto]

He was such a larger than life person! There will never be anyone like him! Rest In Peace Tiny Tim!!

[@danapretzer1895]

Well one thing to say Scott you didnt tip toe through the tulips on this vlog lol. Nice job well spoken and produced. Good job 10 out 10

[@thetwotravelers546]

I met Tiny Tim on a greyhound bus going to Minnesota, he is his bodyguard or helper sat right behind us. Was a very cool moment for me growing up seeing him on Tv.

[@yuriythebest]

This video really perplexed me as I had never heard of him prior. This is like an alternate universe version of Weird Al Yancovic, I think he may have taken some inspiration from Tiny Tim.

[@allexx123]

I bought the double crypt above Tiny's and Sue's for $10,000 soon after he died. I was an old friend of Tiny's since 1968. Tiny's casket is made of Mahogany so it would cost a lot.

[@clifflee7461]

Never forget at nine years old back in 1970 meeting Tiny Tim at Sydney International airport i ran up to him and with that great big smile he bent down to me and said "Hello little boy" in that voice like no other R.I.P.

[@angelamatthew1487]

I remember seeing Tiny Tim on Top of the Pops in the 70s , I really enjoyed this video, you do them so well, thank you Scott , Happy Easter x

[@ellacarson2048]

Thanks for posting this. I remember when Tiptoe Through the Tulips was a big hit…I’m 75 now…and watched the wedding to Miss Vicki on Johnny Carson…years later I was a big fan of Bob Dylan’s Theme Time Radio Hour..in one of those shows, he featured one of Tiny’s songs, though I don’t remember which one. Bob spoke very highly of Tiny, and admired his great knowledge of music…he called him an American Treasure.

[@seattlescofflaws]

What a wonderful, generous gift from Christian.

[@Sheilamarie2]

Thank you Scott, I really enjoyed this!

[@bigimskiweisenheimer8325]

He was a part of my TV world growing up. He was a weird quirky likeable guy.

[@johnpastorjr4990]

I love you’re now making a KZbin channel. I always spent hours reading your death reports on the celebrities on your page. I hope you continue with newer passings and covering older ones like this. Cheers from Philadelphia.

[@karencarbone2603]

Thanks for telling the story of Tiny Tim! He was a very unique individual. It,s terrible 😢 that people made fun of him. He really was a very kind and sweet person. Happy Easter to you Scott!
