RIP Terry Fox, fellow First Nation Chief Dan George, and all the Angels who came, saw, and left before us. We all impact the world so much more than we think. For better or worse You all make a difference. To those of You who make the world a better more just place, Che Miigwech! 🙏‼️
Thanks so much for the lovely tribute to people long gone. I love graveyards. My parent's first child, a little son, is buried at Ocean View and I've visited that graveyard often. He only lived a few days. My paternal grandparents are buried at Mountain View. I think it's time to pay them another visit....
Hi I just came upon your RUclips channel and I am hooked. I am so glad that someone is visiting the graves of some of Canada's famous. Thank you for doing so.
So fascinating! You're research and knowledge of the history of Vancouver and the people therein past and present is incredible. Always learn so much from your vlogs! Keep em coming
Out of the Park JVC! You Sure do a awesome job,& we appreciate your efforts in making these excellent vlogs, as alot of work goes into them....Looking forward 2 part Two!😉✌ Be Safe,🍻 Cheers Sean&family.
Yet another superb video!..thank you for this!.. A request albeit off topic, could you please consider doing a video about the famous Misty's Cabaret on Hornby?..I had played there in a band in the early 80s and would love to hear about it's illustrious history as I wasn't aware of these facts way back when. I've done a lot of digging but unfortunately have come up with very little, and it simply wouldn't be the same with yourself presenting it👍 Cheers😊
Like your videos 👍 Have you considered Slumach's grave? The Katzie Indian who claimed to have a secret mine ... the location of which remains a mystery. Some claim when he paddled up the alouette river he connected to old indian trails leading to the goldfields routes. He would then 'lay in wait' robbing miners enroute to the assayers. His family says he was buried in SAPPERTON. Thanks.
I try to visit celebrity grave sites when I travel. Its a great way to step away from the usual tourist sites, and see the final resting places of some notable people. A few of my favourites were Evel Knievel in Montana, Ernest Hemmingway in Idaho, and of course Bruce Lee, Brandon Lee, and Jimi Hendrix, all in Seattle. Locally, my favourites are, of course, Terry Fox, and Greg Moore. He is in the Robinson Memorial Park in Coquitlam. I'm sure he is already on your list for a future episode. Brian "Too Loud" MacLeod is also in Oceanview.
I have been to the gravesites of Jimi Hendrix, Bruce & Brandon Lee...all 3 are superb to visit! I love the history of cemeteries!! I didn't know Brian "Too Loud" MacLeod was buried in Oceanview. He was a fantastic guitar player and lost his life way too soon.
Goes To 11 thank you my friend. I was hoping to get down to Jimis grave again for the 50th anniversary of his death but unfortunately the border is still closed. 🎸🎸🎸
@@jcvancouver yeah, I don't think the Border situation will change any time soon. About 5 years ago I had the pleasure of getting to meet and know Uli Jon Roth of the Scorpions and took him to see Jimi's gravesite monument. it was an amazing day! I have kept in contact with Uli ever since and he now plays in Vancouver when he does his tours annually. This year was the first year he has not been able to tour due to COVID restrictions. I hope 2021 brings change for us all.
@@GoesTo11 Hendrix's memorial is spectacular. I spent a long time at that one. Bruce and Brandon Lee's graves are really cool as well. Brandon's looks like something from Star Trek. Theirs are also quite easy to get to when you get to Seattle. Quite close to I5.
You missed a Vancouver icon in doing this video. Vie Moore was a 'fixture' on the DTES and, from her restaurant, Vie's Chicken and Steaks, she took care of a whole bunce of black actors, dancers and singers in an era where they could play in the hotels and theatres, but could not eat or sleep in them. She was my grandmother and I met many celebs including Pearl Bailey, Earl Grant and many others. She was a legend before she passed in the 1970's. She's buried at Ocean View along with her daughter, my aunt, Ellen.
Suggestion: The grave of George Thorburn can be found in an appropriate spot in Mountain View Cemetery, close to East 33rd Ave. George was the motorman of the interurban tram "Sumas" on that fateful morning, 10 November 1909, the date of the Lakeview Disaster. A freight car got loose at the site of Nanaimo Station, and rolled down the hill, striking the oncoming passenger train at the site of Cedar Cottage Garden, at Hull St. and Victoria Drive. 14 people were killed in the wreck. In recognition of the site as a place of significance, the gardeners built a tool shed that is a 3/4 scale replica of the station building that once stood there. Why was george Thorburn's grave site especially appropriate? It was right next to the training track on East 33rd, where many motormen got their first lessons. If you look carefully at the tall monument, you might catch sight of coins jammed in the cracks. There are people who still pay their respects. As one of a handful of licensed interurban motormen left in the province, I make a point of leaving a coin there, too.
Wow, see - this is why these stories need to be told! I never knew about that incident and I am 53yrs old, born and raised in the Lower Mainland. Thank you for sharing that with us!
Thank you for watching Susan. The beautiful Juanita was cremated and her ashes sprinkled with love atop Grouse Mountain as per her final wishes. She will never be forgotten.
I am related to Juliette. Thanks so much. Love this video
She had amazing talent. Thank you for watching Holly.

Ian, I'd love to message further with you about Vie so I do a proper tribute. I hope you might find me on facebook.
She was buried there in 1975 if I remember right.
