Love Ya Brother. I grew up with Curly all I get is good feelings all time when I see your grandfather on the TV back in the days, always there in your heart the warm home feeling even today being a grandfather myself, still have that feeling from the past 🙏I'm glad I knew him growing up and better than Micky Mouse Club by far!!
It blows my mind that God brought me into existence at a time on this planet when I would be able to instantly say hello to the grandson of a beloved television character from my childhood. 🤯 I will do that right meow: *_”Hello, Curly’s grandson!”_* 👋 I’m glad this channel exists. *also: I love that you consider yourself a “Jew for Jesus!” (11:58) 🔯✝️❤️ 🤘😆🤘
You know , the best thing about your grandfather , his brothers , and Mr. Fine ...is that they followed the same recipe that Red Skelton followed . They made people happy , and kept them entertained ..all while not using any curse words or vulgarity . I watched the interview that Dick Cavett had with Moe back in the 1970's . Moe was about the gentlest human being that ever lived.
It wasn't just Curly it was also his older brother Moe and Curly's younger brother Shemp. Not to mention their best friend Larry Fine and after Shemps untimely death Joe that entertained everyone. It was a team effort. Moe Larry Curly and Shemp were the OG's of the Stooges Joe was just ummmm odd.
My eight year-old daughter and I visited your grandfather's grave 10 years ago and she insisted on buying flowers for his burial sight. We both love the Stooges but Curly will always be our favorite. We visited the neighborhood where "An Ache in Every Stake" was filmed and we walked the steps your grandfather walked trying to deliver that block of ice.
@@hinglemccringleberry9389 it’s not ok to profit from being a famous person's child or grandchild? Do you tell everyone who does this that they shouldn’t do this? Do you seriously think that no grandfather would say don’t do this? What’s wrong with you?
This grandson has a regular job and just tries to promote love of the 3 Stooges. He's got more integrity in his pinky than you can understand with your mentality.
I’m viewing this on January 18 2023. 71 years ago we lost him on this day. Just a legend and brought so much joy to so many and still does!! RIP Jerome!
I'm a 55 year old black man who absolutely love the THREE STO0GES I feel as if I 'm right with you whenever I watch you guys paying homage to MOE,LARRY,CURLY,SHEMP,JOE BESSER and CURLY JOE.I think it's very touching that your paying respect to your grandfather the great JEROME HORWITZ(curly)god bless you,your grandfather,your immediate family and of course...THE THREE STOOGES ❤❤❤.
You ain't kidding kid , that is the greatest comedian of all time right there in front of you ... and he is your grandfather ... those are proud tears ...
Your Grandad and his brothers along with Larry literally saved my life on more than one occasion. Suffering from chronic depression for most of my adult life i have watched and re watched the "boys" a million times in my 68 years. Way better than taking a pill to make one feel better. The only side effect is a sore stomach from laughing so hard. Legends forever!!
@@timbell6870 I'm still a chronic insomniac because of depression, and the only way to break the cycle is to watch The Three Stooges or Abbott & Costello. They fight our demons for us. These guys have no idea how much they've helped people like us cope with depression. You take care too Tim.
Curly G looks so much like his grandfather. Curly brought so much joy to countless millions and still does to this day. The Stooges are an indelible part of all our lives, and will live forever because their brand of madcap comedy is timeless and will always bring much needed levity and lunacy.
Any man who was as loving and compassionate to all the dogs he found homes for in his life had to be a great man. Brad sure does look a lot like his Grandfather.
I got to visit one of Curly's homes in LA when I visited last, and we parked in the wrong spot and had to walk around the block. I said to myself "this is probably where Curly walked some of his dogs" 🐕
My teenage son has autism and became absolutely obsessed with the Three Stooges when he was young. We took a trip to visit all the grave sites as well as some filming locations in 2020. It meant the world to him to see these special places. I have just introduced him to your channel and I know he will absolutely love your content! All these years later, new generations are still appreciating the Stooges all over again!
This is beautiful, and I never realised the Stooges were Jewish until now. Curly was definitely one of history's greatest actor / comedians. He's influenced so many Hollywood greats. In particular Mel Gibson, but the list is far longer than just Mel.
Mention Mel Gibson with Jews, he's unworthy after the terrible things he said about them. He's certainly not going to be seeing Heaven anytime soon, for a list of reasons. How did you manage to not know that they were Jewish?
@@tenebrisrex333 He apparently meant Mel Brooks not Mel Gibson. With Brooks, there's a lot of the zany madcap, the irreverence. Mel Gibson has never done the slightest thing with his career resembling Curly Howard.
It's heartwarming Brad, his grandpa Curly and his great uncle Shemp were the funniest in my opinion, with all due respect to the other stooges who were also great. Tears came out while watching this video. Thank you very much for sharing.
Ever since I was a child in the late 60s and early 70s when I was 4 5 in Jordan 🇯🇴 the 3 stooges were my favorite till today and iam 56 now and still watch them you can never get enough of them. May god rest. Their souls
What a Beautiful Tribute, Love this soooooo much and The Real Emotions You all Showed. Forever a Stooge God Bless Curly and Shemp. This was Something for all Stooge Fans to See.
And here is the translation of what is written on your great grandparents gravestone: LEFT SIDE PANEL Here lies an honored man and a dear father Honest, straightforward and pleasant in his deeds Pursuing justice and kindness all of his days He studied and taught with purity Enlightened, seeking G-d Shlomo Nossan son of the honored Chayim Nuchem ha Levi Died the 24th of Kislev Hebrew year 5703 (corresponds to December 21, 1943) May his soul be bound up in the bonds of eternal life RIGHT SIDE PANEL Here lies a woman of valor The crown of her husband and children Pure and honest in all of her deeds She spread out her hands to all the needy Practiced kindness and truthfulness all of her life Gruneh the daughter of the honored Shmuel ha Levi Died the 22nd of Elul Hebrew year 5699 (corresponds to September 6, 1939) May her soul be bound up in the bonds of eternal life I hope knowing what is written there brings you an added comfort. Keep up the good work!! And be well (that's the most important!!
@@SuzanneBaruchDid any earlier commentators notice or point out that Curly and by extension his brothers were Levites? While via their father their mother also was one. Telling!
I hope that Moe, Larry, Curley, Shemp and Curley Joe are looking down from heaven and know how much joy they brought to us. They still make me laugh even after I’ve seen the shorts 100x.
I'm sure they know. Their Wonderful comedy is still being passed down and enjoyed to the future generations. Our kids still love the three stooges!!! I'm sure they will show their kids as well. Of course if they don't, we will!
I've always wondered how often surviving family members visit the graves of their famous relatives. This is the first video I've ever seen where family visited. Thanks for sharing this with us! I loved visiting Curley and Shemp's final resting places a few years ago and I loved seeing you and your family and friends visiting in this video. It was moving and funny and one of the best gravesite visits I've ever watched on TH-cam! 🙂
I was going to drop by last time I was in LA, but didnt have the time. I was planning on saying "the mourners Kaddish (prayer for those who passed away)" when I was there - but ended up taking an earlier flight and couldnt make it out there. As for how many people visit their relatives who passed away ... cant tell you - everyone and every level of religion is different. As someone who is "a religious Jew", I go often to my own parents and grandparents graves (as well as family friends)(same cemetery so its not hard to do) - but thats just me. Next time I get to LA if I have the time, I would go there and say it for them with pleasure. Besides being "one of the tribe", they gave every one I know many many years of pleasure and entertainment - they certainly deserve the respect and dignity!
The God bless our Shempy and just the whole video got me ❤ 😭. This was such a beautiful tribute you guys. You guys make them very proud. Chris knocking the coins down off of Shemp's grave and your Stooge moments were hilarious and priceless!! Andy's poor sweater 😂😂😂😂 R.I.P. Shemp and the rest of the Stooges
I grow up watching The Three Stooges & I still watch them. I hope one day I can get to their graves so i can pay my respects to them one day. Thank u for sharing your video.
I used to watch them when I was a kid. I am 64 now. I really appreciate you guys. I hope you make a movie. Curly G is exactly like Curly in the movies.
Emotional moment to see Curly's grandchildren come and pay tribute to their grandfather Curly Howard from the Three Stooges. It was an honor for me to be present this very special day of December 16, 2022. Thanks Bradley, Andrea, Hilery, Andy, Chris and Luis Reyes for sharing this special day in Home of Peace memorial park in East LA.
Curly and shemp were the best and funniest of the 3 stooges Larry was hilarious but Curley and shemp were the glue that kept it all together ❤️ after they died the 3 stooges imo died that day rest in peace Curley and shemp thanks for the laughter
Alex-Shemp is a legend, too. He and Curly were funny in their own way, although I seriously doubt Curly would have made it on his own as a solo Stooge like big brother Shemp.
You guys are hilarious. Smacking each other outside Shemp's grave had me in stitches. It was also a touching video as well seeing you guys pay your respects. There isn't a day that goes by where I don't say "I'm trying to think but nothin' happens".
I'm 49 years old and I grew up watching the reruns of The Stooges every Sunday morning The Stooges were never the same after Curly left he was the magic. He brought so much joy and laughter to generations of children He left a wonderful legacy So glad that you share him with us
Curly was absolutely amazing, but so was Shemp. Shemp was an original stooge in Soup To Nuts. They were originally with Ted Healy who got beat to death outside a bar. Awesome fucking video.
I was born in 1948 and found the Stooges on B&W TV in my pre-teens. I loved the shows and modeled my humor after Curly. I am sure that people around me (who didn't know about the Stooges) thought I was having some sort of mental breakdown. I did all the bits with my favorite being the multiple hand slaps to the face. I encouraged my close friends to watch and they they all caught the bug and did the bits with me. We cracked each other up and it was a very pleasant childhood memory. I was always on Curly's side and thought he was not being well treated by his brothers even though I knew it was acting. Thanks for this emotional tribute.
I'm 70 years old. I had to have been 7 or 8 years old when I first started watching The Three Stooges. My folks left me at my grandmother's during the day while they were at work. The first thing I'd do was to turn on the tv to Slam Bang Theatre so I could watch The Three Stooges. It was a daily thing. Curley was my all-time favorite Stooge and still is. I have a collection of The Three Stooges on discs. I don't watch them alot anymore but i watch some online and cherish the memories they bring back.
My mom just passed and it got me thinking of what our family's legacy will be. I'm the last of my bloodline. I was a gardian to a great boy who I proudly call my son and now a grandpa and "pops" to my wife's son and her granddaughter. I see my dad's quarky sense of humor and even love of making others laugh coming through in ways I would have never guessed. Especially when times are tough... and sooo much is from my dad his love of the stooges. I realized this just a few days ago when we all came home after mom's wake. We all had some gut wrenching cries and then realized that everyone was focused in on the funeral director's wiggling lop sided toupee. Our laughter helped heal us. It was so good to see you guys laughing and clowning around in this video. A legacy of laughter and joy is more valuable than pounds of gold because in the long run, we are all just the stories we pass down and laughter and joy is hard to beat.
This was a great tribute fellows. It was very poignant and moving, even brought a few tears to my eyes. I know how ya feel about not visiting graves. I've only visited my dad's a handful of times, and he's been gone 20 years. If I don't get to meet ya on this , hopefully on the other. Thanks for all you all do. We need it now more than ever. Blessings to you and yours
I’m 44 and I remember as a child watching 3 stooges reruns and they always made me smile and laugh…… thanks for sharing this. Your Grand Father was AMAZING.
I just watched 3 hours of your grandfather last night. I'm almost 69 and The Stooges have been a staple in my life since 2nd grade. Quite the legacy you have. Cheers from Utah.
This is my first time watching this video. I'm happy to see that the humor of the Three Stooges that we love so much continues in the family. It was fun and endearing to see Curly's mannerism. Family gatherings must be so much fun!
This put me in tears because you got to see your grandfather for the first time and his parents. Thank you for doing this because I always loved watching the Three stooges growing up in the 70's and I still watch them on TH-cam even though they're reruns I don't care if they are watching the Three stooges will never get old they're missed by millions of fans and they will never be forgotten by the millions of fans.
Men know not only when it's ok to cry, but also that it's ok to show emotion. Visiting a relative's grave is one of those times where it's ok and expected.
I was born in July 1952. The Three Stooges was a big part of my family's enjoyment. I absolutely loved them all. My Dad was a German Jew. He escaped the Nazis and came to America in 1950. My mother's family was very Jewish but my dad was not. I never learned how to read Hebrew. This video brought tears to my eyes. You three guys are just like the original Three Stooges. I miss them even though I can still watch their movies on T.V.
I think it's very very nice that you went to visit your grandpa!! I am sure he'd be tickled to know that you visited with him!! Y'all are so sweet and kind!
Touching tribute. It’s amazing to me the impact that these men have still to this day. I carry a piece of Curly’s memory with me always. He will always be our beloved Knucklehead.
Being a forever fan of The Three Stooges, this was a pleasure to see. Curly would be so very proud of his grandson, who looks like him, and you must be so proud to see the love that your grandfather still receives to this day 💙 ❤️
I was introduced to the Three Stooges by my grandfather. I loved watching them and their comedy is legendary. Many thanks for making this tribute possible.
Curly was the absolute best thing. My daddy loved The Stooges and every Sunday we watched them. He had so many VHS tapes of their shenanigans. He would always mimic Curly. Rest in peace Curly, Shemp and the rest of The Stooges. Y'all brought so much laughter to the world. ❤
Curl was my favorite of the three Stooges! He entertained millions! He still does to this day! Your grandfather and great uncles left a great legacy! May they all Rest In Peace.
What a legacy you guys have. So glad you honor your grandfather and all the Stooges with your laughter, their sound effects, antics, and personaities that have endeared them to so many!!! God bless you all!
I just discovered your channel today. My sister and I grew up watching The Three Stooges, and still watch them to this day. Curly was my favorite, my sister liked Shemp. To see their Graves, we both cried. We are so happy to have found this channel. Thank you so much.
Whenever I go visit my brother across the street at Calvery Cemetery, I think of Curly & Shemp, I tell everybody they are there. BTW, Lou Costello is in the main mausoleum in Calvery, so many great comedy minds close together. (Edit... I'll be honest, this video had me fighting off the tears, tears won...but I'm still a man)
Sorry that is a sad moment to visit your grandfather. Thanks so much for sharing Curly and Shemp with the world. Such great memories of watching them and the tons of laughs!
Just wanted to say how much I loved your grandfather. No matter the highest highs or the lowest lows of my life, he was always there making me laugh. I’ll treasure him always.
What a treat seeing you visiting your grandpa. I am a big fan of the Stooges and have corresponded with Helen Maura Howard, Moe’s daughter, following reading Curly’s bio. I have collected various artifacts and newspaper articles, etc. Curly’s name in Hebrew is engraved on the headstone and reads: Yehuda Lieb Bar Shlomo Ha’Levy. Curly saved thousands of dogs by picking up strays and finding homes for them. That alone made him a mench, Yiddish for “the man!” You and your family did a great thing by paying him your respects. Curly, his brothers and Larry Fine made millions laugh.
Yehuda (Judah) Leib (love or lion), the son of Shlomo (Solomon) the Levite (from the tribe of Levi). Horwitz means that Moe, Curly and Shemp's ancestors came from a town in Czechoslovakia called Horovice. By 1942 only 76 Jews lived there; all were murdered in 1942 by the Nazis. They grew up in Bensonhurst, birthplace of Buddy Hackett, Eliot Gould, both Jewish, and someone whose greatness is equal to that of the Stooges, Sandy Koufax.
That was an incredible tribute. Today I'm 45 and I LOVED watching the stooges as a kid, I still do - Curly and Shemp were my favorites! My kids also know the Stooges. American and Hollywood icons and GEMS. Great tribute!
That’s the mark of a truly great comedian. People like Curly, Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett and Benny Hill are able to make you laugh with just their facial expressions! 😜🤗
I just visited Curly’s grave this last weekend and wondered who left behind the block of cheese 😂. The Three Stooges are an American treasure. Curly was my personal favorite and I remember as a kid dancing in front of the television when the opening credits came on and it was a Curly short. What an honor it must be to be related to the funniest man of all time. Thank you for sharing this very private moment with the TH-cam community.
I just found your channel today and subscribed immediately. Your grandfather and great uncles, and their dear friend Larry have ALWAYS been my favorites. Besides making me laugh when I needed it, I have the utmost respect for those men because they kept a nation laughing through some of the darkest times, and are still making people laugh today! Love their legacy!!
I'm not crying, you're crying! Thanks Curly's Grandson for sharing this wonderful tribute. I never knew I could laugh and cry at the same time. Amazing how far modern technology has come. Watching the Three Stooges on film, to watching Curly's Grandson in 4K video.
Brad, this is such a touching tribute to your Grandpa Curly, and Uncle Shemp.❤ I am crying over here. Curly Howard is part of you. He had the talent, the Gift-to make people laugh. Which is the Greatest talent in the world. Curly G.you are carrying on that legacy of laughter. Curly was a Comedic Genius. Full of such warmth and Love-I feel it whenever I watch the 3 Stoodges. Curly represents the little kid in all of us.❤Brad, you are such a genuine, Funny, talented and creative guy. ❤ Having Andy and Chris there with you made this tribute so powerful and profound. This really touched my heart. Thank you guys.❤
@@ChrisDurmick I have always wanted to visit Curly's gravesight to pay my respects, and honor his memory. I got to experience this through Curly G's. video. A private moment shared by Curly G. and good friends- Chris and Andy, and family. This had such a Deep emotional impact on me. I have been watching the 3 Stoodges since I was 5 years old. I see the world through Stoodge colored glasses. I find humor in everyday life experiences. Let me give you some examples. Recently I went to the grocery store on the bus. I was told to be ready at 2pm. I went out to the bus and was told that the bus was hit by a car, and that they couldn't let me in the bus because the door wouldn't open!!! I started cracking up laughing!!! Another moment: I was in the produce aisle. A beautiful but nasty woman in high heels slipped on a piece of wet lettuce. I cracked up laughing. She went flying in the air, then hit the floor. I went over to help her- but my first thought was, Where have I seen this before? The 3 Stoodges!!!😂😂😂Years ago I had to have surgery. As they were wheeling me into the surgical suite, I was cracking up laughing!!! I was wearing my Stoodge colored glasses. CALLING DR. HOWARD, DR. FINE, DR. HOWARD!!!😂😂😂Curly was my Favorite.❤He always made me laugh so hard. He was unique, and funny. As I got older I wanted to know more about the 3 Stoodges. I did some research. When I read about all the strokes and illness Curly had, it broke my heart. I couldn't believe that such a beautiful so-so kind and genuine. So warm and hysterically funny-would die so young and so tragically. It wasn't fair!!! He brought so much joy, happiness and laughter to the world/and to me.❤When you got to Shemp's grave-it was comedy relief!!!!AMAZING!!!😂😂😂Lots of laughter. I loved it!!!❤Seeing you, Curly G. And Andy at Curly's grave really made me cry. You were there to show your love and respect. This touched my heart in such a Deep way. You three guys are carrying on the 3 Stoodges Legacy of Laughter. 3 Beautiful, unique, creative and talented boys. I wear my 3 Stoodges colored glasses everyday. They keep me Laughing and Happy. They are a permanent part of me. A gift from Moe, Larry, Curly and Shemp.❤KEEP EM' LAUGHING!!!😂😂😂Love you guys.❤❤❤
I visit my grandmothers grave at least twice a year to pay my respects. But to be fair, we respect the dead more by what we do in life, just like you’re doing with this channel. Bless you all
What a beautiful tribute. It's so heartwarming and touching. While Curly is my favorite Stooge, my mind goes to the scene where the Stooges were taught how to dance by a lovely dance teacher. A bee went down the back of her dress; you viewers know the rest. MAZEL TOV to the STOOGES and Curly's descendants.
Loved your grandfather since I started watching the stooges in 1975 and now I watch them with my daughter! My grandmother was a friend of the stooges back in the 1920s and 30s. She was a flapper. I remember seeing pictures of them in her memory chest! So glad to see you keeping their memories alive! GOD BLESS!
Nothing can dethrone the Three Stooges when it comes to classic comedy. And Curly was KING when it came to comedy. Love all the Stooges, but Curly topped them all. I hope to visit California someday in the future, and I would love to visit Curly's grave. How humbling and incredible was it to visit the graves of your grandfather and grand-uncle?
Enjoy my live interview with Andy!

and they appeared in some chapters
Yeah he loves dogs alot❤️
Boxers were his favorite.

Lovely. I didn’t know that 🙏🏾
This was awesome watching this. I am 71 yrs old and I loved the Three Stooges. Of course, Curly was my favorite.

Your Grandfather entertained millions of people around the world. He was absolutely one of the greatest. Thanks for making this video!
He was not one of the Greatest,he was THE GREATEST!
And still makes me and my 17 year old son laugh really hard every time!

What a Beautiful Tribute, Love this soooooo much and The Real Emotions You all Showed. Forever a Stooge God Bless Curly and Shemp. This was Something for all Stooge Fans to See.
And here is the translation of what is written on your great grandparents gravestone:
LEFT SIDE PANEL
Here lies an honored man and a dear father
Honest, straightforward and pleasant in his deeds
Pursuing justice and kindness all of his days
He studied and taught with purity
Enlightened, seeking G-d
Shlomo Nossan son of the honored Chayim Nuchem ha Levi
Died the 24th of Kislev Hebrew year 5703 (corresponds to December 21, 1943)
May his soul be bound up in the bonds of eternal life
RIGHT SIDE PANEL
Here lies a woman of valor
The crown of her husband and children
Pure and honest in all of her deeds
She spread out her hands to all the needy
Practiced kindness and truthfulness all of her life
Gruneh the daughter of the honored Shmuel ha Levi
Died the 22nd of Elul Hebrew year 5699 (corresponds to September 6, 1939)
May her soul be bound up in the bonds of eternal life
I hope knowing what is written there brings you an added comfort. Keep up the good work!! And be well (that's the most important!!
Thank you!
Thank you!!!
Ha, you beat me to it Larry! Good translation.
@@ChrisDurmick say you must be more closer related to Moe! I wonder if his real name was Moshe! instead of Moses
@@SuzanneBaruchDid any earlier commentators notice or point out that Curly and by extension his brothers were Levites? While via their father their mother also was one. Telling!
I hope that Moe, Larry, Curley, Shemp and Curley Joe are looking down from heaven and know how much joy they brought to us.
They still make me laugh even after I’ve seen the shorts 100x.
You missed Joe Besser. Where did he go? 😂
@@debbutcher9087 ….Dang it. You’re right. I got joe De Rita and Joe Besser confused.
@@MrOccyc , It’s okay. Lol!
I'm sure they know. Their Wonderful comedy is still being passed down and enjoyed to the future generations. Our kids still love the three stooges!!! I'm sure they will show their kids as well. Of course if they don't, we will!
Don’t forget Joe Besser
I've always wondered how often surviving family members visit the graves of their famous relatives. This is the first video I've ever seen where family visited. Thanks for sharing this with us! I loved visiting Curley and Shemp's final resting places a few years ago and I loved seeing you and your family and friends visiting in this video. It was moving and funny and one of the best gravesite visits I've ever watched on TH-cam! 🙂
Thank You..
😬❤️😬

I was going to drop by last time I was in LA, but didnt have the time. I was planning on saying "the mourners Kaddish (prayer for those who passed away)" when I was there - but ended up taking an earlier flight and couldnt make it out there. As for how many people visit their relatives who passed away ... cant tell you - everyone and every level of religion is different. As someone who is "a religious Jew", I go often to my own parents and grandparents graves (as well as family friends)(same cemetery so its not hard to do) - but thats just me. Next time I get to LA if I have the time, I would go there and say it for them with pleasure. Besides being "one of the tribe", they gave every one I know many many years of pleasure and entertainment - they certainly deserve the respect and dignity!
I absolutely love your grandpa Curly .. so glad you went to visit him . 💚
Curly will be loved and remembered forever. The Stooges were a big part of my happy childhood. They still make me laugh as much as ever. Nyuk!
The God bless our Shempy and just the whole video got me ❤ 😭. This was such a beautiful tribute you guys. You guys make them very proud. Chris knocking the coins down off of Shemp's grave and your Stooge moments were hilarious and priceless!! Andy's poor sweater 😂😂😂😂
R.I.P. Shemp and the rest of the Stooges
Thank You❤️❤️❤️
@@CurlysGrandson I see a resemblance to your grandpa ♥️
I grow up watching The Three Stooges & I still watch them. I hope one day I can get to their graves so i can pay my respects to them one day. Thank u for sharing your video.
Thank You!!
❤️

I used to watch them when I was a kid. I am 64 now. I really appreciate you guys. I hope you make a movie. Curly G is exactly like Curly in the movies.
Emotional moment to see Curly's grandchildren come and pay tribute to their grandfather Curly Howard from the Three Stooges. It was an honor for me to be present this very special day of December 16, 2022. Thanks Bradley, Andrea, Hilery, Andy, Chris and Luis Reyes for sharing this special day in Home of Peace memorial park in East LA.
Thank You Robertino!❤️
You made it very special for us all!!
❤️❤️❤️
Curly and shemp were the best and funniest of the 3 stooges Larry was hilarious but Curley and shemp were the glue that kept it all together ❤️ after they died the 3 stooges imo died that day rest in peace Curley and shemp thanks for the laughter
Jerome Howard is a legend. A comedic talent of legendary proportions. You have descended from greatness ❤
Alex-Shemp is a legend, too. He and Curly were funny in their own way, although I seriously doubt Curly would have made it on his own as a solo Stooge like big brother Shemp.
@@kevinmiller6380 It's an interesting dynamic between Curly and Shemp. I see more similarities there than Curly and Moe.
May have been funniest man who ever lived.
He had a natural talent for comedy that was unmatched, even by his brothers. What he did, he did with no training and no preparation.
What a lovely tribute to Curly and Shemp.
Loved them both....My top 2.
@@gerrys4822they are head & shoulders above the other third stooges with all due respect to Joe & the Curly clone.
I LOVE watching The Three Stooges.
And you look so much like your Grandpa Curly! So much like him!
You guys are hilarious. Smacking each other outside Shemp's grave had me in stitches. It was also a touching video as well seeing you guys pay your respects. There isn't a day that goes by where I don't say "I'm trying to think but nothin' happens".
One of the best quotes ever!
I'm 49 years old and I grew up watching the reruns of The Stooges every Sunday morning The Stooges were never the same after Curly left he was the magic. He brought so much joy and laughter to generations of children He left a wonderful legacy So glad that you share him with us
Curly was absolutely amazing, but so was Shemp. Shemp was an original stooge in Soup To Nuts. They were originally with Ted Healy who got beat to death outside a bar. Awesome fucking video.
I was born in 1948 and found the Stooges on B&W TV in my pre-teens. I loved the shows and modeled my humor after Curly. I am sure that people around me (who didn't know about the Stooges) thought I was having some sort of mental breakdown. I did all the bits with my favorite being the multiple hand slaps to the face. I encouraged my close friends to watch and they they all caught the bug and did the bits with me. We cracked each other up and it was a very pleasant childhood memory. I was always on Curly's side and thought he was not being well treated by his brothers even though I knew it was acting. Thanks for this emotional tribute.
Brad, I think there's Curly and Shemp in you and those two are my favorites. I'm one of the people who would like you to play Shemp
I'm 70 years old. I had to have been 7 or 8 years old when I first started watching The Three Stooges. My folks left me at my grandmother's during the day while they were at work. The first thing I'd do was to turn on the tv to Slam Bang Theatre so I could watch The Three Stooges. It was a daily thing. Curley was my all-time favorite Stooge and still is.
I have a collection of The Three Stooges on discs.
I don't watch them alot anymore but i watch some online and cherish the memories they bring back.
Thanks so much for sharing your story ❤️
My mom just passed and it got me thinking of what our family's legacy will be. I'm the last of my bloodline. I was a gardian to a great boy who I proudly call my son and now a grandpa and "pops" to my wife's son and her granddaughter. I see my dad's quarky sense of humor and even love of making others laugh coming through in ways I would have never guessed. Especially when times are tough... and sooo much is from my dad his love of the stooges.
I realized this just a few days ago when we all came home after mom's wake. We all had some gut wrenching cries and then realized that everyone was focused in on the funeral director's wiggling lop sided toupee. Our laughter helped heal us.
It was so good to see you guys laughing and clowning around in this video. A legacy of laughter and joy is more valuable than pounds of gold because in the long run, we are all just the stories we pass down and laughter and joy is hard to beat.
My boys who are ages 10 and 12 have been watching The Three Stooges and have enjoyed watching it. They laugh out loud as I did when I was young.
It’s amazing how a grandson can inherit a bit of their grandfather. I can definitely see curly in you.
8:50 the silent walk, quiet prayers and a kiss for a beloved grandfather. God Bless Curly and you too man. Keep the name strong!
This was a great tribute fellows. It was very poignant and moving, even brought a few tears to my eyes. I know how ya feel about not visiting graves. I've only visited my dad's a handful of times, and he's been gone 20 years. If I don't get to meet ya on this , hopefully on the other. Thanks for all you all do. We need it now more than ever. Blessings to you and yours
Thank You❤️
Curly was the godfather of big guy, slapstick, physical comedy. And honestly, he’s still the reigning king, in my opinion.
I grew up watching the three stooges. As kids we mimicked their every antic. Love them. True comedic entertainment. Thank you for sharing.
I’m 44 and I remember as a child watching 3 stooges reruns and they always made me smile and laugh…… thanks for sharing this. Your Grand Father was AMAZING.
Thank You!!❤️

Curly left an amazing legacy that lives to this day and the fact that your apart of that legacy is truly amazing and his spirit lives forever.
I just watched 3 hours of your grandfather last night. I'm almost 69 and The Stooges have been a staple in my life since 2nd grade. Quite the legacy you have. Cheers from Utah.
Your Grandpa was an ABSOLUTE GENIUS at comedy! I loved Three Little Pirates, Maha- Ahhha! Blessings
Aw man, Maha AHAA!? Is legendary hahahah! Always loved the goofy maps they'd show "Republic of Canabeer, Hegypt, Igypt, Ugypt, etc..." Love it!
@@melsop54 I agree they are ALL classics,but Three Little Pirates is near and dear to my heart growing up cuz me and my grandma would watch it.Cheers!
@@A-couple Those are great life long memories to have!
This was beautiful. Curly was always my Dad's favorite.
This is my first time watching this video. I'm happy to see that the humor of the Three Stooges that we love so much continues in the family. It was fun and endearing to see Curly's mannerism. Family gatherings must be so much fun!
I'd like to visit Curlys and Shemps Graves someday.
I could watch the same episode a million times and it just never gets old. I love you Curly...Nyuk Nyuk!😉
❤️

This put me in tears because you got to see your grandfather for the first time and his parents. Thank you for doing this because I always loved watching the Three stooges growing up in the 70's and I still watch them on TH-cam even though they're reruns I don't care if they are watching the Three stooges will never get old they're missed by millions of fans and they will never be forgotten by the millions of fans.
Men know not only when it's ok to cry, but also that it's ok to show emotion. Visiting a relative's grave is one of those times where it's ok and expected.
I was born in July 1952. The Three Stooges was a big part of my family's enjoyment. I absolutely loved them all. My Dad was a German Jew. He escaped the Nazis and came to America in 1950. My mother's family was very Jewish but my dad was not. I never learned how to read Hebrew. This video brought tears to my eyes. You three guys are just like the original Three Stooges. I miss them even though I can still watch their movies on T.V.
I think it's very very nice that you went to visit your grandpa!! I am sure he'd be tickled to know that you visited with him!! Y'all are so sweet and kind!
Touching tribute. It’s amazing to me the impact that these men have still to this day. I carry a piece of Curly’s memory with me always. He will always be our beloved Knucklehead.
Being a forever fan of The Three Stooges, this was a pleasure to see. Curly would be so very proud of his grandson, who looks like him, and you must be so proud to see the love that your grandfather still receives to this day 💙 ❤️
I was introduced to the Three Stooges by my grandfather. I loved watching them and their comedy is legendary. Many thanks for making this tribute possible.
Curly was the absolute best thing. My daddy loved The Stooges and every Sunday we watched them. He had so many VHS tapes of their shenanigans. He would always mimic Curly. Rest in peace Curly, Shemp and the rest of The Stooges. Y'all brought so much laughter to the world. ❤
Curl was my favorite of the three Stooges! He entertained millions! He still does to this day! Your grandfather and great uncles left a great legacy! May they all Rest In Peace.
What a legacy you guys have. So glad you honor your grandfather and all the Stooges with your laughter, their sound effects, antics, and personaities that have endeared them to so many!!! God bless you all!
I just discovered your channel today. My sister and I grew up watching The Three Stooges, and still watch them to this day. Curly was my favorite, my sister liked Shemp. To see their Graves, we both cried. We are so happy to have found this channel. Thank you so much.
How did I JUST find your channel??? God bless you and your family for keeping your grandfather's legacy alive! This is so great!
Beautiful tribute to your grandfather. He was and is loved by many and will always be for generations to come.
I grew up with the Stooges. I couldn't imagine my childhood without them. Curly was awesome,.
I'll just bet that Shemp is laughing after that awesome slap! It's in yours and Shemps heritage!
I loved it when Shemp knocked all the coins off so they had to pick them all up... classic Shemp! 70 years gone & he's still got the moves!
DUDE....I'm a HUGE Stooges fan, now 72,STILL watch every Saturday on METV....The resemblance is uncanny!!!
This is by far my favorite vlog on TH-cam. Beautiful family, everyone is together and to know that your grandfather is Curly Howard, that’s amazing.
Gone but definitely not forgotten. They brought so much joy to millions. Thanks.
Whenever I go visit my brother across the street at Calvery Cemetery, I think of Curly & Shemp, I tell everybody they are there.
BTW, Lou Costello is in the main mausoleum in Calvery, so many great comedy minds close together.
(Edit... I'll be honest, this video had me fighting off the tears, tears won...but I'm still a man)
The creator of the stooges Ted Healy as well.
3 Stooges = timeless comedy! An incredible comedy team that will always have a place in our hearts!
You guys slapping each other made me cry. That was beautiful.
Sorry that is a sad moment to visit your grandfather. Thanks so much for sharing Curly and Shemp with the world. Such great memories of watching them and the tons of laughs!
I still watch the 3 stooges every Saturday evening and wish to thank them a life time of laughter
Just wanted to say how much I loved your grandfather. No matter the highest highs or the lowest lows of my life, he was always there making me laugh. I’ll treasure him always.
What a treat seeing you visiting your grandpa. I am a big fan of the Stooges and have corresponded with Helen Maura Howard, Moe’s daughter, following reading Curly’s bio. I have collected various artifacts and newspaper articles, etc. Curly’s name in Hebrew is engraved on the headstone and reads: Yehuda Lieb Bar Shlomo Ha’Levy.
Curly saved thousands of dogs by picking up strays and finding homes for them. That alone made him a mench, Yiddish for “the man!”
You and your family did a great thing by paying him your respects. Curly, his brothers and Larry Fine made millions laugh.
Yehuda (Judah) Leib (love or lion), the son of Shlomo (Solomon) the Levite (from the tribe of Levi). Horwitz means that Moe, Curly and Shemp's ancestors came from a town in Czechoslovakia called Horovice. By 1942 only 76 Jews lived there; all were murdered in 1942 by the Nazis.
They grew up in Bensonhurst, birthplace of Buddy Hackett, Eliot Gould, both Jewish, and someone whose greatness is equal to that of the Stooges, Sandy Koufax.
That was an incredible tribute. Today I'm 45 and I LOVED watching the stooges as a kid, I still do - Curly and Shemp were my favorites! My kids also know the Stooges. American and Hollywood icons and GEMS. Great tribute!
This is so heartfelt and touching. Curly meant so much to my brothers and I. I would love to visit his grave someday.
Curly doesn’t even have to be doing or saying anything when you watch him. Just looking at him makes you laugh.
Well said!!
😬❤️😬
CG
True but when he does or says something, it makes you laugh harder.
@@Shanethefilmmaker Soytenly!
That’s the mark of a truly great comedian. People like Curly, Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett and Benny Hill are able to make you laugh with just their facial expressions! 😜🤗
Michael Palin, Craig Ferguson, and Jared Keeso also do that for me. They can whip a facial expression on me and crack me up.
I Absolutely Loved The Three Stooges And Still Do!! God Bless All Of The Stooges And Their Entire Families!!
I just visited Curly’s grave this last weekend and wondered who left behind the block of cheese 😂. The Three Stooges are an American treasure. Curly was my personal favorite and I remember as a kid dancing in front of the television when the opening credits came on and it was a Curly short. What an honor it must be to be related to the funniest man of all time. Thank you for sharing this very private moment with the TH-cam community.
I just found your channel today and subscribed immediately. Your grandfather and great uncles, and their dear friend Larry have ALWAYS been my favorites. Besides making me laugh when I needed it, I have the utmost respect for those men because they kept a nation laughing through some of the darkest times, and are still making people laugh today! Love their legacy!!
I'm not crying, you're crying! Thanks Curly's Grandson for sharing this wonderful tribute. I never knew I could laugh and cry at the same time.
Amazing how far modern technology has come. Watching the Three Stooges on film, to watching Curly's Grandson in 4K video.
Brad, this is such a touching tribute to your Grandpa Curly, and Uncle Shemp.❤ I am crying over here. Curly Howard is part of you. He had the talent, the Gift-to make people laugh. Which is the Greatest talent in the world. Curly G.you are carrying on that legacy of laughter. Curly was a Comedic Genius. Full of such warmth and Love-I feel it whenever I watch the 3 Stoodges. Curly represents the little kid in all of us.❤Brad, you are such a genuine, Funny, talented and creative guy. ❤ Having Andy and Chris there with you made this tribute so powerful and profound. This really touched my heart. Thank you guys.❤
Thank You❤️
@@CurlysGrandson You're welcome.😊❤
@@CurlysGrandson You're autograph is worth millions of dollars.
It was a very special privilege to share the day with Brad and Andrea, and a bonus to be in the company of all our other friends
@@ChrisDurmick I have always wanted to visit Curly's gravesight to pay my respects, and honor his memory. I got to experience this through Curly G's. video. A private moment shared by Curly G. and good friends- Chris and Andy, and family. This had such a Deep emotional impact on me. I have been watching the 3 Stoodges since I was 5 years old. I see the world through Stoodge colored glasses. I find humor in everyday life experiences. Let me give you some examples. Recently I went to the grocery store on the bus. I was told to be ready at 2pm. I went out to the bus and was told that the bus was hit by a car, and that they couldn't let me in the bus because the door wouldn't open!!! I started cracking up laughing!!! Another moment: I was in the produce aisle. A beautiful but nasty woman in high heels slipped on a piece of wet lettuce. I cracked up laughing. She went flying in the air, then hit the floor. I went over to help her- but my first thought was, Where have I seen this before? The 3 Stoodges!!!😂😂😂Years ago I had to have surgery. As they were wheeling me into the surgical suite, I was cracking up laughing!!! I was wearing my Stoodge colored glasses. CALLING DR. HOWARD, DR. FINE, DR. HOWARD!!!😂😂😂Curly was my Favorite.❤He always made me laugh so hard. He was unique, and funny. As I got older I wanted to know more about the 3 Stoodges. I did some research. When I read about all the strokes and illness Curly had, it broke my heart. I couldn't believe that such a beautiful so-so kind and genuine. So warm and hysterically funny-would die so young and so tragically. It wasn't fair!!! He brought so much joy, happiness and laughter to the world/and to me.❤When you got to Shemp's grave-it was comedy relief!!!!AMAZING!!!😂😂😂Lots of laughter. I loved it!!!❤Seeing you, Curly G. And Andy at Curly's grave really made me cry. You were there to show your love and respect. This touched my heart in such a Deep way. You three guys are carrying on the 3 Stoodges Legacy of Laughter. 3 Beautiful, unique, creative and talented boys. I wear my 3 Stoodges colored glasses everyday. They keep me Laughing and Happy. They are a permanent part of me. A gift from Moe, Larry, Curly and Shemp.❤KEEP EM' LAUGHING!!!😂😂😂Love you guys.❤❤❤
Your Grandfather gave his life for me and millions of others. He is my hero. The 3 Howards are my soulmates.
Amazing Watch the Three stooges all time Important and very exciting to see their Legacy continues with you.
Goodness but I sensed that Shemp and Curly were in the hall with you guys! ❤️
Such good fortune to have your great great grandparents there too.
I visit my grandmothers grave at least twice a year to pay my respects. But to be fair, we respect the dead more by what we do in life, just like you’re doing with this channel. Bless you all
So true ❤
What a beautiful tribute. It's so heartwarming and touching. While Curly is my favorite Stooge, my mind goes to the scene where the Stooges were taught how to dance by a lovely dance teacher. A bee went down the back of her dress; you viewers know the rest. MAZEL TOV to the STOOGES and Curly's descendants.
Your Grandfather has given me and the world years of laughter. "Hey Moe, hey Larry!" Thank you for posting your visit. R.I.P. to all the Stooges.
I’m 72. I grew up watching the Stooges in a small town NORTH of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. The Stooges come on TV in Phoenix on Saturday nights.
Curly made me laugh more times than I can remember. All my favorite Stooge episodes were all with Curly.
Loved your grandfather since I started watching the stooges in 1975 and now I watch them with my daughter! My grandmother was a friend of the stooges back in the 1920s and 30s. She was a flapper. I remember seeing pictures of them in her memory chest! So glad to see you keeping their memories alive! GOD BLESS!
What do you mean?
Larry passed away in January 1975. Moe passed in May 1975 and Moe's wife in October 1975
Nothing can dethrone the Three Stooges when it comes to classic comedy. And Curly was KING when it came to comedy. Love all the Stooges, but Curly topped them all.
I hope to visit California someday in the future, and I would love to visit Curly's grave. How humbling and incredible was it to visit the graves of your grandfather and grand-uncle?
