    True story. I am a retired US Military Pilot (Blackhawk Pilot and after I retired EMS Pilot. From 1972 and 1979 I was a Los Angeles County Emergency Paramedic. I responded to an apartment in West Hollywood for a heart attach victim While there I was in the living room (There was another crew working on this old woman) so I was just standing around. To my huge surprise there he was Huntz Hall. I was a huge fan growing up watching the Bowery Boys. I walked up to what appeared to be a family member of the old woman (The old woman was Huntz Halls Mother. I asked this older woman if the gentleman was, in fact, Huntz Hall. She said Awwww that's so sweet, yes it is. She then asked me if I would go up to him and introduce myself to him and tell him I am a huge fan, so I did. Mr. Hall all of a sudden perked up and was so unbelievably nice to me. I told him our Prayers are with your mother and that we will give her the very best care, and believe me he was so appreciated of my Compassion. We shook hands and then we transported her to I believe Mount Sinia Hospital. I will remember this until the day I pass on. Even though he was much older he looked just like the man I use to watch on the Television.

    I remember the first time I was taken by my older sister to see a Bowery Boys film.
    When we got to the cinema the queue seemed so long we thought we’d never get in.We did and the cinema was absolutely packed.
    The volume and the amount of laughter Satch created was unforgettable.
    Walking home afterwards every other kid was imitating Satch and getting their own laughs acting out parts of the film.
    We all loved Satch, but they younguns were never too sure about the bullying Muggs McGinnes!

    I did once see Huntz when I was about 15 in 1961 or 2 crossing the intersection of 43rd St and 8th Av (NYC) in opposite direction of me. Huntz was Bopping along with Perry Como Sweater and his arm heavily draped over a your=ng starlets shoulders happy as as clam ! I believe he had a penchant for Show Girls. Never forgot it and can see it clearly till today . During WWII Hall enlisted in the Army, and after his discharge returned to Hollywood, where his first jobs were in war films playing soldiers (for his impressive work in A Walk in the Sun (1945) he received the New York Theatre Critics Circle Blue Ribbon Award. He also invested wisely and had 10% of Bowery Boys francize..

    After watching many of your great videos, I began to admire how well maintained individual graves are in the Hollywood cemeteries. I finally realize why the flat grave markers there are always nicely exposed and not covered up by the grass like they get here in Michigan. Very often, I search for graves, and only the center of the marker, the size of a candy bar, are visible. The rest is covered over by creeper grass, which we need since winter is so hard on it. It even fills in the carving on its surface with roots, making a mirror image of the marker. It takes some work to remove the grass, and if the stone has sunk, it often fills back in within a few summer months. When I clean them, I might imagine the occupant thanking me, that they can see the world again.

    One of my favorite things the Bowery Boys did was resorting to all the "routine's" they had rehearsed whenever they got into trouble. For instance Slip Mahoney would yell out "Routine 26!!" and the boys would each go into action into a pre-rehearsed fight assault. Damn funny!

      Looking at the date on his niche, he was born 15 years before my mom, so he was even before my time. I don't think they've remained as popular as Laurel & Hardy, The Little Rascals and The Three Stooges, even though they were just as popular in their time.
