THIS STORY:
Howard Robard Hughes Jr. was a business magnate, record-setting pilot, engineer, film producer, and philanthropist, known during his lifetime as one of the most influential and richest people in the world. He first became prominent as a film producer, and then as an important figure in the aviation industry.
Later in life, he became known for his eccentric behavior and reclusive lifestyle-oddities that were caused in part by his worsening obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), chronic pain from a near-fatal plane crash, and increasing deafness.

The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named “The Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...
This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.
Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
Some are famous.
And some infamous....
....and some with tragic endings.

Hedy Lamarr was not buried. She was cremated. Reportedly, one of her sons spread her ashes in her native country of Austria. There is a memorial marker in the Central Cemetery in Vienna, Austria.
Re: the lion statue grave of Lester Harold Smith....he made his money in oil and was a huge philanthropist, donating to hospitals and education. He suffered 3 rounds of cancer and a double lung transplant. His self eulogy is on-line and which reflects his humor and life outlook.
Howard Hughes helped Preston Tucker get the engines for his cars. My Dad worked for Tucker and I grew up hearing all about the cars. My Dad even helped with the movie, Tucker, the Man and His Dream. In the movie it shows the 2 men meeting and HH telling Preston where to get his engines. The Spruce Goose even has a cameo in the movie.
Another great opening scene! The entrance to the cemetery was brilliant!
I'm impressed with your ability to walk, talk, and film without falling !!!!!

Thank you for great content!
I love those Michael the Archangel statues!! SOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL!! 👍💗❤
May Howard Hughes RIP!! XXXX💔😢🌹
We need more Richards in the world! Shout out to all the decent cemetery workers. ❤️
Hi Ron, Hedy Lamarr is buried in Vienna Cental Cemetery, part of her ashes. The rest of the ashes are in the Vienna woods, request from her son. Hope this helps.
Ty!!
Great video Ron. Howard Hughes is a fascinating character. I remember his passing my senior year.
My late brother in law was his personal pilot in Howard's later years.
interesting!
So sad ,so rich yet descended to the lower depths,May he R.I.P,👏👏👏👍🇦🇺
When I was a kid, I was fascinated with Howard Hughes. As were most people in the US. He was in the news pretty frequently. I am very sorry his severe Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder finally took control of him. My mom had the same, and compared herself to Howard. However, mom learned to control it enough to have a relatively normal life. Things she could not do, my sister and I helped her with. We saw the movie about Howard, The Aviator, which showed how badly he suffered. Mom said she recognized herself in the movie. Thank you for remembering Howard, and the wonderful way you talked about his life story.
Those eyes. 👁 👁 Those wings! I'm talking about the 2nd Michael statue. That was amazing! One of the nicest most well maintained Cemetaries I've ever seen. Remember it from the live walk. I saw the Spruce Goose in person. When it was in, I think, Long Beach, California. MASSIVE! He just HAD to over do it I guess. 🤷♀️ He always had such an intriguing sounding life. He was really messed up at the end. I also remember the mysterious will brought forth by Melvin Dummer. It got ALOT of attention around here. I think there were many wills though. Everyone wanting the Hughes fortune. I hope Howard and his parents have all found peace. 🙏 Thanks Ron! 😊
Thanks for this one, I always found his life fascinating.
Great intro music and aerial shots, Ron. I have always found the story of Howard Hughes so intriguing and interesting. Thanks for bringing this story to us.
Great episode Ron, and you really chose some great music for this one too!
Whatever happened to the rest of HH's money & estate after he died? He didn't have any children that I'm aware of so when he died his entire family name of he's father's died as well. That's so sad imo.
Great video. Knew some about Howard Hughes, none about his father. Very interesting. Thanks!
12:09 wow!!! The way the statuary holds up in Texas in comparison to Chicago is absolutely stunning and amazing. That entire cemetery is pristine. Amazing video as usual. ❤ Kendra
With John Wayne it didn't help that he smoked several packs of cigarettes a day and drank a lot on top of being exposed to the radiation when filming The Conquerer
Great story, nice touch you added that song in the beginning, takes you back to the old days. How did it feel standing on his grave?
You always make great videos, thank you🫶👏👍safe travels.
It was pretty intriguing to stay on there, right over him
Stand there”
Hi, Ron!! I loved this! Oh, my gosh.. I was an Eastern Airlines flight attendant from 1984 until it went out of business. Then went to American Airlines. We used to see Howard Hughes’ airline when passing through Texas at Eastern. The planes were yellow so pilots always called them the yellow banana. I had done a report on him in junior high. I wrote how he had long nails and toenails. He refused to cut them. He was handsome once upon a time, but he became not handsome later in life. This video was amazing, Ron!! Thank you so much!!
Ron your intro into Glenwood was really great and the music was spot on!! Back in 1991 I was lucky enough to visit the Spruce Goose in Long Beach Ca. while living in Southern, Cali .( before they moved it) My Dad was a pilot WW2 and aeronautics engineer & they wanted my Dad to work for them, he did not. Funny, years later my husband would end up working for Hughes Aviation, in NJ.@ McGuire AFB. thank you for telling his story, so interesting, what a life !!🙏
Ron make sure you go to Oregon see it one day!😄👍
Hi Ron from the very historical town of Beaver,Pennsylvania. We have a great cemetery here. Hope you'll visit someday. God bless.
P.S. I really enjoy your walks and talks and your values.
The tombstone looks like a flying saucer. ......pretty awesome
Hi Ron from Arizona! I enjoyed the story about Howard Hughes. In his own strange and unique way he established a contribution to history. The cemetery has exquisite statues.
Like so many I knew him to be very wealthy and eccentric and strange. Great job on adding more about the man
Love from the Coalfields of Virginia!💜
Whou! What a life! I also liked his dead smart moves with a land purchases!
…good to see little Jimmy in action again!
What an attention grabbing intro! Even my birds reacted to the music. Awesome. 😁 But what a tragic life. He looked so much older than 70 imo in that last picture.
Hi Ron just finished watching your video at the cape creek cemetery ,lovely to see you found little Adrian fry’s grave ,now onto the Howard Hughe video.👋👋👏👏👍🇦🇺
I visited that grave area in 1980 it has been redone or something. Another person in the Houston area you might look into is “Red Adair”. The John Wayne movie the Hellfighters was based on. He pulled up beside me in a red Mercedes convertible and I recognized him from his AMEX commercials, I mentioned I would like a hat he told to met him at his office the next morning.
Long gone from Houston, that was shot a month ago I don’t think I’ll be going back anytime soon but if I do I’ll keep that in mind!! 👍
Very interesting! I have always felt sorry for Mr. Hughes, I always wonder if medication could have helped him. So sad his life was so horrible for him! Thank you Ron for the story!
Lester Smith- a sleeping Giant. Had to google his obituary, written himself and quite the writer to. Nice lion.
This was a special story with the music. You always find very interesting stories for us.
Thanks for sharing with us 👍🏻
Wonderful and interesting. Well done, Ron.
Yes that sand from the atomic testing sites caused a lot of great stars to pass to soon! Many great western stars. Grave probably had some sort of sundial maybe?
I remember my aunt told me a couple of years after he died, that because of his injuries after those plane crashes, he became obsessed with cleanliness because of the potential for infection and it just became obsessive. On another matter, as owner of RKO Pictures, he designed an undergarment for Jane Russell although she was not happy with it in the film- so she never wore it but they were great friends- but not lovers. Another interesting episode about a titanic figure whose achievements were somewhat eclipsed by his notoriety as the world's most famous recluse. It's very sad but it does not take away from his triumphs.
Thank you for doing this. We have so much history in Houston, people just forget it is here. Thank you.
Another tasteful video and this one makes me want to read about Howard Hughes. The music chosen brings us back in time. The man died lonely and alone but lived an exciting life before his accident. At the end; living with his memories. It's too bad we didn't experience the potential of other great things he could have done. I'm surprised his grave site did not have anything aviation in/on it. Those tall figures in the back wall looked like flower lamps that maybe shone upwards into the arches? I guess we'll see everything when the renovations are finished? I wish you a great day 🙂
Lester Smith was an oil executive and philanthropist.
Loved this peek into H Hughes life. Poor man, living with OCD on a time when it was not understood. Thanks Ron!
Interesting.. I watched the movie after I saw your video
Interesting Cemetery Ron
One of the perks of honeymooning on the Queen Mary many moons ago was being able to see the Spruce Goose. I'm not really into planes or flying but it was really impressive.
I wish I would have gone to see it when it was still there. I remember seeing that dome in the distance. well, have to go to Oregon to see it someday!
I dont live to far from McMinnville when you make it to Oregon some day keep me in mind I'd like to meet you in person Ron. I have seen the spruce goose a few times. It's really huge.
Hedy Lamar was a brilliant actress and very smart woman she had many technical inventions was always my favorite.
He had an Internal frame at one point, thats probably what that is in the middle.
Thanks for sharing.
God Bless
Great episode, Ron 💜
I am curious if he was buried in an airtight casket so the creepy crawlers didn't feast on him.
Yikes ,,cremate me ..😂
funny fact he dated my grandma she also taught golfing they also say they where cousins grandma always talked fondly of him such a great video
Evening Ron, just finishing off your vedio, was very intrigued by your walk thru this cemetery. Having to say you do your research well was fascinated about Howard's life he indeed was a lady's man. Just imagining all those women he danced the night away with more fun lol. Didn't expect to see his burial area that simply. Well to him he problem like it that way with a gated fence and his parents next to him. Really no one really needs any fancy burial ground unless they request it. Know mine is gonna be simple cremated and rest of my ashes thrown on my parents grave at Mount Carmel. No use saving my ashes on a shelf that will collect more dust. 😆
That plane is in McMinnville Oregon
Wow wow wow if him and Hedi Had put their minds together !!
"Jet engines are gonna be the way of the future!...The way of the future. The way of the future. The way of the future. The way of the future. The way of the future. The way of the future. The way of the future. The way of the future. The way of the future. The way of the future. The way of the future. The way of the future. The way of the future" -Howard Hughes
The production of this video WOW!!! The drone, the music 🎶 at the beginning 🏆!
Revelation 9:1-12 describes what happens at the blowing of the fifth trumpet. A star falls from heaven and opens up the shaft of the "bottomless pit ", or literally the abyss the star is a fallen angel his possession of the key to the abyss , indicates his authority over the Abyss a place of evil . We have here an allusion to Satan's fall from heaven and the authority over the forces from evil. When the great pit opens a swarm of locusts is released. There's much more but trumpets stand for war within heaven. Also Ron the caved lion ( Komainu ) Chinese guardian sometimes called Foo Dog they are placed to guard the grounds and people within .. Also from Persia to Rome the lion was a symbol of the Sun God Mithra . Ron, look at what we learn from time to time you'll say, I wonder and we are off to Google. I love it . I had to type three comments for this one but I hope you enjoy the information. That lion was beautiful and I knew there had to be some symbolic meaning . I had to look up the trumpets for you and us all here who follow... I'm done ! 🙂 Peace ✌
Thank you so much for this. I have been homesick for 52 years. You are always so professional and interesting with every video made👍🙏❤
There was an eternal torch that was lit at his grave.
as we see, nothing is eternal. boy have we learned that with the shape of some of the mausoleums!!
It's a shame what happened to him in the last few years of his life cannot happiness or sanity
Ava Gardner was my great aunt on my mother's side of the family and she dated him a few times but was never in love with him...
Omg what a great looking Drone view of the Houston Texas skyline.....wow Ron....and Howard Hughes was the original Playboy of Hollywood....
Wash my hands × infinity
Besides working at Hughes Aircraft, I did see the Spruce Goose when it was alongside the Queen Mary as a tourist attraction.
Right I never got to see it but that was like 20 years ago when it was there in that dome I remember, Long Beach
I’m glad they save that I’m going to have to see it someday up there in Portland or whatever it is
Beautiful statues
His Spruce Goose Plane is at the Evergreen Avation Museum in McMinnville Oregon
A rich man with a sad end, i hope he knew he was in the air when he died. Because he loved too fly.
Sounds like he developed Dementia at some point.
I asked Siri to show me the graveside. It appears that the spruce goose was in the middle of the circle, and two additional planes, one I think again the spruce goes, are the top of his monument. It’s a shame people steal things like that! Good story, Ron.
Awsome as always Ron. You aced this story also. The angels are beautiful and the lion is stunning... So sad about Howard Hughes,, we will never know what else he would of came up with.. If we only would of had medicine for him, he could of went beyond the stars.
Another good one Ron you are so good about checking these out so interesting about who he was in life Rip to him and his parents Loved it Thanks Ron Take care on your journey s
Love your videos Ron! Age 19 was considered a minor back then?
Good day, Ron, I would love your sky miles. 🙂❤️🙂 I absolutely loved this one and the introduction music was perfect. Thank you for this treat. Continued Blessings....
Yes you need to come to Oregon and look at the spruce goose I've Gone to see it
Thanks Trina, I am definitely going to do that someday. I totally missed the boat when it was in Long Beach and it would’ve been easy to see but I think the exhibit in Oregon is much more extensive, set up better
It's kind of sad looking for someone of his stature. I thought the grounds would look nicer not so neglected.
I remember seeing the Spruce Goose many times when it was on display in Long Beach, CA . I remember when they moved it as well.
Great opening shot of the skyline.
Very enjoyable Ron, from the opening drone shots and great music, to the story of a complicated man, Howard Hughes. Always makes me wonder about the fine line between genius and madness. There's a price to be paid perhaps when someone is blessed with this kind of brilliance . Great work and research on this, thank you Ron!!
Well you can't say his life was boring😅😅😅😅😅
Houston's most generous philanthropists, Lester Smith, 76, died in his sleep at his Memorial area home early Thursday.
Thank you, Ron, for taking us on this trip. I am fascinated with Howard Hughes also. It's a shame that OCD got ahold of him the way it did. He did so much in his lifetime. I have the movie Aviator & i love watching it. His life is a great story but also is a sad story. Does anyone know if he has any children?
This video was very interesting..I never knew so much about Howard , the music was beautiful ,loved the drone wow ..you are a great story teller . Thank you so much
Howard Hughes was my great-grandmother's second cousin. Didn't find that out until recently. And we have a lot of golfers in our family... And quite a few intellectual recluses.
Yes, looks like flower beds and the area is getting done up - slowly. I think the circle parts with no names could be for other family members and the squares with circles on top maybe for people who are to be cremated?. Or as you said Ron a wheel of some type. Bet if those things shaped like torches were torches and if lit at night would look amazing.
Lester Harold Smith was a Houston oil man and philanthropist
The a/c he passed on, a Learjet 24 s/n 24-199 apparently is still in service as XA-TTT, would be nice if it will one day end up in a museum, maybe next to the Hercules.
The grave of Howard Hughes: 29°45'47.72"N 95°23'14.34"W
My wife and I visited the Spruce Goose, located at McMinville, Oregon in 2017.
Beautiful cemetery ! Michael the arc angel is awesome Thanks Ron have a bless one
I love the women in his life...classy video.
Tom, Belgium.
You did a great job on the history of Howard Hughes. I loved the music too! My parents met and married in the 40's and that was their music! Mr Hughes has quite a unique plot but it reminded me of Elvis's plot with his parents and twin brother.
This was a awsome video!!! What a beautiful cemetery. 🌹
The Spruce Goose is in McMinnville Oregon at the Evergreen Aviation Museum. It's pretty Large😂. Another great mini film.👍
Great video Ron about howard Hughes and his life...very interesting and I enjoyed as.always you do a good job and it shows too ..Rip Howard Hughes 🙏😇... safe travels Ron... take care and be safe !! 💕💕... statues are beautiful
I sew the Spruce Gosse in California long time back.
Sweetheart, your cinematography is mind blowing. It improves all the time! Great video. Be well, my friend
I am here in upstate NY in the beautiful Mohawk Valley in a blizzard ,,we are expecting 18 inches of snow ⛄️..I am jealous of the warm weather there in Texas ..
Vase's mite have been above the graves... People steal them for the scrap metal, Its Sad...
The 6 trumpets on the back wall look great...
Thanks for the show... He went into hiding after his deals with the Government...
Wow is all I can say!!! Great story Ron !!!!! I just love your channel. May have been a fountain & light display at 1 time?
My prom in 1988 was inside the dome where the Sproose goose is in Long Beach, was very cool, everyone in line to go in the craft, with the band in the background oh memories💃🏽🕺🏻
Lester H. Smith was one of Houston's greatest philanthropists 150 million dollars ...he was a oil wild-cat man of great wealth!
Reminds me of Mt. Carmel. :) and thank you for sharing. I was able to "tour" the Spruce Goose when is was in Long Beach Ca! Impressive.
