Famous Graves with Diamond Dave

Famous Graves with Diamond Dave

I've turned my hobby of visiting famous graves into a youtube channel. I've driven hundreds of miles just to visit a grave of a famous or not-so-famous person to tell their stories. I think everyone needs to be remembered. You can email me at [email protected]

    I was born in Maryland, have lived in Dayton all my life and now live in Kettering. I used to do a good bit of walking for exercise in Calvary Cemetery. Most of my dead relatives are in other cemeteries, including Calvary, but I do have a few named Lindamood in Woodland. I was walking there once and discovered an uncle I didn't know was buried there, and the Lindamood jumped out at me, lol. I have a high school friend buried there also. My grandpa and dad worked at NCR back in the 60s when we were kids (now completely torn down), and I have great childhood memories of the employee recreation park with double swimming pools and a theater where we had a nice yearly Christmas program back in the day. I worked at Delco Moraine and graduated from Patterson Co-Op High School in 1973; again, both gone now. My ex-hubby is buried in Memorial Park. I didn't realize Agnes Moorhead was buried there. She was evidently married twice and obviously didn't suffer a fool, like the saying goes. Lol.

    Thanks for sharing. You sound like a nice person to meet. My Gpa had Bogan Mayflower on Woodman. I don't suppose you heard of it. It's now Lewis and Michael.

    @@famousgraveswithdiamonddave I'm right now trying to locate exactly where Bogan Mayflower was. Looking mapwise to me and from other info like it was near Research Park and Patterson Road, probably back in there further near Woodman Fen? I've never done any walking back there and not sure I have it right. My sister actually works at the tissue lab near Patterson and Woodman. I can remember when the State Farm was there ages ago before the buildings and businesses there now. She lives in Greenmont Village close by also.

    After the recording studio work, Buck told Rich not to ride the motorcycle. I am guessing Rich was probably high as a kite. Lots of fools get high then ride. He was a big loss and sad so many musicians had drug and alcohol issues.

    He doesn't talk about the Back Ranch House. That's where the Family hung out. Charley and others sold lids and beer there. They got busted but George had to pay a fine. This was in late 1968. I had a1957 Buick Century and we'd use the payphone at the horse corral. In those days we had up to six households on party lines.

    Hello Diamond Dave. I just found you and want to say you do a wonderful job, it is a lot of work walking Inglewood Park. One of our old neighbors who lived across the street in Inglewood was Miss Helen Kilne, better known as Tinker Bell. I know she was there but could never find her spot. I remember she would always be riding her bike to and from the store, gardening, and even going up onto the roof of her home to do some repairs. I have always wondered how she got to work ( Anaheim, Disneyland ) from Inglewood as it is about 35 miles from her home, she did not have a car. 🪐
