Danny Thomas FOUNDED St. Jude's. Danny is a true hero. He was one of, if not the BIGGEST Star in the World in the later 50's, with his Sitcom, Shows, and Guest Stars. He was actually asked to be a Ratpacker...but didn't have the time. It was called the Danny Thomas Show at first...then it became Make Room For Daddy. He started the St. Jude quest in the EARLY 60's, do that no child, no matter their faith, or race..would have great treatment to cancer...and at no charge. He gave up his career to build that hospital. Tell me he wasn't a great Man, and Mentor. God Bless Danny, his Wife, Marlo, and Phil Donahue, Marlo's husband. He dedicated his life to St.Judes too. My wife and I have supported St. Jude's Hospital every year since 2004.
Danny Thomas made a promise to God when he was very young and struggling financially. He promised God that if he made it in his career he would help others, he made it, and help them he did. A true gentleman and a very generous man. St. Jude's is the one and only charity that my husband and I support. It's a wonderful hospital doing so much good.
Thank You Steve out of all the graves you visited I have always had a soft spot in my heart for Danny and Marlo Thomas for their lifelong commitment to St Judes, If everyone that has wealth like Danny Thomas would give back like he did the world would never have a need for anything, He will definitly have a special place in heaven.
Steve. Danny Thomas was such a kind and generous man. He was instrumental also in the production of the Andy Griffith series as well. Many people are alive today because of St Jude's Hospital. May he rest with the angels for his great works at St Judes
Born in 1953, I remember watching Danny Thomas's show, & all the classic 1950's TV shows! He was a fantastic humanitarian with great faith. Thanks for yet another heartwarming & uplifting story!
Danny was awarded by the pope the highest award allowed by the Catholic Church in Rome He was a great man and should be made a saint. He was not selfish he cared above all for sick children facing death. He assembled 100 Lebanese catholic businessmen to get the financing needed to build this great hospital. Now that is a great person a great talent. He did not waste his life he used it to leave a great forever legacy above all he cared for those most in need. Young sick children. It’s hard to face death but what. Horror it is to fight for your life at 3 or 4 years of age. God bless Danny Thomas
I remember Make room for Daddy, and That Girl!! Love that Danny Thomas started St. Judes. My life's work was being an RN., and what he did for childhood cancer, and Marlo and other celebrities continue to do, is amazing. Families are NEVER given a bill!! God bless the children , and all those who support this hospital.
My daughter went to St Jude. She is alive today because of this great man as are many children today. How do you say thank you for giving your child life 🥰
How profound a statement by Danny Thomas knowing St Jude’s was his reason to be on this earth. He was a true philanthropist and just all around good soul. I do support St Jude Hospital. What a wonderful legacy to leave behind! I was also a big fan of That Girl with Marlow Thomas. She inspired me as a young girl to realize I could be independent as a grown women in a time where girls were expected to grow up to be housewives and mothers not much else. I am grateful to stars like Marlow Thomas and Mary Tyler Moore who were examples in they’re characters on shows like theirs in the 1960’s and 1970’s to young women in America! ,
What an absolutely gorgeous memorial for Danny Thomas. If I ever go to Memphis, I will visit. My mother and I have both supported St. Jude for many years. It is wonderful that he is still present at the place he cared for so much. Great job again, Steve! xoxo
St. Jude is the patron saint of the impossible. From what I understand the story goes that Danny Thomas was playing night clubs and one night stands across the country. He wanted a job where he could be in one place to raise his family. His wife was Catholic and told him about St. Jude. So Danny Thomas made a vow to St Jude that if he could get a steady job in one place that he would build a hospital for children with cancer. Not too long after his promise he got his TV show. Steady work that kept him in one place. He kept is promise and the hospital became a reality. Such a wonderful man. God Bless him in Heaven.
What a wonderful video tribute to legendary entertainer Danny Thomas!! Great work Steve! I have always wanted to visit St. Jude's in Memphis! I hope to one day! Now I know how incredibly beautiful it is! Thank you so much my friend!
What a beautiful place , yes him and Elvis did a commercial together for St.Jude... I watched talk shows way to much in late 60s and 70s , and of course Phil Donahue , i believe i watched the last interview of Danny Thomas and course he talked about St Jude...God Bless Danny for starting such a wonderful program ... Thank you Steve for the video , always well done
Beautifully done, thanks so much Steve. My gosh---been seeing those St Jude commercials for years and never would've seen this wonderful institution if it wasn't for you!
thanks for being a part of this video, wayne. i'm home now, so it will be easier to edit and upload all the videos I shot. not much time to do them on the road.
Old Danny did pretty good for himself . And many others . For a poor boy from Toledo , Ohio . This is the only charity I support . Have had several fund raisers in the past . Drove by several times . But never stopped .
I remember seeing the St. Jude telethons as a child. As I watched all those children and their families sharing their stories made me feel forever grateful for my health. I still pray for all the many children that suffer from cancer. 💙💙💙🙏🏽
Thank you so much for another great tour. He was a very loving, caring, funny, charismatic, sincere, giving, authentic, most generous, gifted man... As always have a safe trip! 👍👊👏🥇🏆😉
Hi Steve, I'm A supporter of St. Jude research hospital, l give to St. Jude every month.l remember the Danny Thomas show. , Don't Date ME!!(by age) LOL 😂 😂 LOL 🤗.
Danny Thomas one man's dream, what a beautiful soul who made it possible to help the helpless for that reason my wife and I contribute to St Judes yearly to keep his dream alive and to help all those beautiful children and their families.
I was born in the early 60s so I didn’t see Danny Thomas much. However I remember THAT GIRL quite well as it was on the air for 5 years and then in reruns. Great show. I saw Marlo Thomas in 2011 in New York City. She was in a broadway performance. I understand that she’s very active at St. Jude hospital. She has tried to carry on in her father’s footsteps. Thank you for the video. I feel I’ve been to so many places now, yet I have not left my home. 😀
Danny Thomas made it to where no child with cancer will ever be turned away for not being able to pay from any where in the world.....If I'm not mistaken the hospital takes children up to 21 years old.
I agree! My 1st born passed away from Leukemia in 1964 at the age of 2! We never found out how he got it The only possible cause we could come up with was that his dad was assigned on a nuclear submarine! I have been a supporter for many years and Thank St Jude's for still helping the children! PS I loved Danny Thomas in Make Room for Daddy and Marlo Thomas!
Another great vlog, Steve! The Pyramid was originally a concert & sports venue, The Elvis 25th Anniversary Concert was held there in 2002. Now Bass Pro Shops own it, & there is an archery range, hotel, restaurants, & an observation deck there; I imagine the views of Memphis from the observation deck are phenomenal!
I love what Danny Thomas did with his vision. He earned his angel wings & his family continues the work he left behind. I didn't know about the museum. Bless him
That pyramid used to be a venue that had concerts but now it is an unusual Bass Pro Shops. You could see the emblem on it in your video. St Judes is an awesome place. They do a lot. Sarah and I have an some races to help benefit the hospital.
Over the years, I've attended several fundraising events for St. Jude's. It truly is an amazing hospital. Thank you Danny Thomas. And thank you Steve for posting.
Steve,I went St Jude in1992 for treatment of AML at age 14 to 21,I am 42 now and heathy they saved my life so Danny Thomas saved my life with his vow to St Jude.
Great video! Danny Thomas was an amazing guy and I read an article where he prayed to St Jude and promised that if he became successful he would do something wonderful and when he became famous this was what he did. I always donate to St. Jude, and have volunteered on telethons to raise money. There is also several people working to make Danny Thomas named a saint in the Catholic Church because he did a lot for many charities in the name of Catholic social justice. Also, finally, it should be pointed out that the Danny Thomas Show spawned the first successful spin off named the Andy Griffith Show, which never rated lower than in the top 10 the entire run (and was number one the year it ended). I'm not old enough to have seen any of these shows during their broadcast times but my mom's favorite show was the Andy Griffith Show and we watched the Danny Thomas Show where Andy Griffith was introduced.
Hey Steve. So my dad and Danny Thomas use to do telethons together in LA. I have a picture of them together on my wall. My dad ran the MS Society in LA. I have many pictures of him with star at those telethons. So Danny is very close to my heart. Thank you so much for coming by my channel. I really appreciate your friendship
I had the privilege of raising money for the hospital in 2008. I could share more information about this wonderful hospital with anyone who requests it I love talking about St. Jude! Thank for posting this.
Great video, I do remember Make Room for Daddy And the TV show That girl. Wonderful hospital St Judes,and God bless The Thomas Family for all they have done, thank you Steve for sharing
Oh the places I’ve been and the things I have seen through arm chair travels with you Steve! Always interesting and informative. Danny Thomas has a beautiful resting place.
I am very impressed at how smooth Casper drives. This is a very informative and beautiful video. Danny Thomas has such a beautiful resting place; well deserved for all his work with helping children with cancer. Happy Father's Day. Be safe.
Awwww I loved him ,he was such a kind man and loved the children, he really needs to be made a Saint, that's how I feel about him he really had done great work God Bless Him, ty Steve for another wonderful video, so lovely!
What a role model he was and is! Too have that direction and purpose and then fulfilling it must have been very rewarding for him! He was a great family man too, and I remember him being interviewed or appearing on shows and he was very nice and sincere and loved giving back! There needs to be more people like him in the world! Nice tribute Steve!
Greetings STEVE ... from beautiful Troy, Ohio. Like you, I had NO idea that Danny Thomas founded St. Judes Hospital. I remember him doing advertising ... or spots for St. Jude as far back as I can remember. He was quite the entertainer back in the day. Another FANTASTIC job. Thanks Steve.
I visited in 2004. The company I worked for took some us to visit. Great man and cause. He has made a magnificent difference in life for many children from all over the world!! Wonderful facility. There's a hotel for the parents where they stay free of charge.
I was just at St. Jude yesterday with my son and he goes to see the HEM clinic and we finally got to visit Danny and his wife RoseMary. This place is beautiful and we love it
He was truly an amazing actor for him to give back to his community by giving children the miracle to live and enjoy childhood is truly a blessing if it wasn’t for Danny Thomas most children wouldn’t of survived or live to tell their story truly an amazing person he was
Thank You for sharing Steve that was a very nice vlog remembering a man / family who has helped so many 🌹 And Chet he was a great guitar 🎸 player in his time !! I see you changed your vlog name again 👍🏻 right on !! 🌹
you're the first one to notice or mention. I lost 1,000s of subscribers when I changed the name to memory lane, so I decided to change it back and just stick to one thing, final resting places. it's my favorite topic and much simpler to have a single focus. thanks, connie!
Visiting Gravesites With Steve Your Welcome Steve , I follow you no matter what name you choose, you’ve never really veered much off any of the original topics I think anyway . I always enjoy all your vlogs !! I’m trying to keep up , I’ve been a bit busy working on things for my sister/ best friend she is fighting cancer right now so I’ve been working on some comforting things for her . Please stay with safe travels. Sorry I can’t afford to be a patrion but still trying to save up for them ridiculously expensive hearing aids and still fighting the annoying vertigo.🌹
Oh this is a great trip. He was a good man and his works still continue thru the help of his daughter Marlo Thomas. I still watch the older shows They are classy and the best for me anyway Thank you Steve
The large pyramid you saw driving into Memphis was one of the largest Bass Pro Shops stores in the country. You might have noticed the company logo on the outside of the pyramid. The Memphis Pyramid was originally a basketball arena and convention center, the Memphis Grizzlies of the NBA played their first couple seasons there until their current arena was built. Johnny Morris, founder and owner of Bass Pro Shops, purchased the building in the early 2000's and converted into a Bass Pro store!
@@TheGraveyardChannel I'm surprised you didn't know about Bass Pro, it's a multi-billion dollar company with dozens of stores all over the country. Though they're mostly here in the "flyover states" (Midwest and South), so you may not hear about it in SoCal, but yeah, hunting, fishing, and hiking are definitely big business!
My mother was a nurse. And a big St. Jude’s supporter. My family made a “pilgrimage” to St. Jude’s when I was 13 or so. Pretty sure it looked nothing like it does now back then. Impressive to say the least. I personally remember watching The Danny Thomas television show. Might have name wrong. So long ago.
I definitely have donated to St Jude's Hospital. Really believe in this charity. I remember seeing Make Room For Daddy being on @ home but just in shadow. I was born in 1956 so I was there but it wasn't on my radar I guess.
Steve I was there in August 2019 while attending Elvis Week. My friend has worked there for 40 years. It's a beautiful place. We even toured the hospital.
Beautiful I have helped StJude and grew up watching his show and when he appeared first on the one show Andy Griffithi. And i watched reruns because I was born in 1959 at the end in November.
Thank you for covering Danny thomas; david taylor's comment expresses my own sentiments perfectly. I expect we both remember daughter Marlo's '60's series "That Girl" also. i appreciate the Chet Atkins photo as well.
Thank you. I have been wanting to see this for years. I have been supporting St. Jude since a class project as a kid and I'm 44 now. The Bass Pro Shops are like museums for nature lovers. I visited the one in Missouri. Well worth visiting even if hunting, fishing, camping, and boating are not your thing. Again, thank you so much for this video.
Hi Steve enjoyed your vlog 😀👍I watched the rest of your videos was good , but my favourite was elvis and Donna summer 🙂❤ 🇬🇧 and yes I'm feeling a lot better thanks. 🙋♂️
I cried watching this , my heart is so touched by Danny Thomas and this wonderful hospital . Thank-you , Steve for sharing . Did you know that no parent ever receives a bill from St. Jude . They operate on donations alone. My husband and I are blessed to have given monthly donations for the past two years .
Thank you again for a great video. And thank you wayne for the photo of Chet Atkins grave. No worry Steve one way or another we all suffer from the serious senior moment. And are remembered to it by our families..... LOL Greetings from your Dutch fan.

Danny Thomas was a great man he did so much for sick kids god bless him
He accomplished a lot. Its a miracle that a child who needed the help he was their for them and their families. He was a wonderful man.

I’m trying to keep up , I’ve been a bit busy working on things for my sister/ best friend she is fighting cancer right now so I’ve been working on some comforting things for her . Please stay with safe travels. Sorry I can’t afford to be a patrion but still trying to save up for them ridiculously expensive hearing aids and still fighting the annoying vertigo.🌹
Oh this is a great trip. He was a good man and his works still continue thru the help of his daughter Marlo Thomas. I still watch the older shows
They are classy and the best for me anyway
Thank you Steve
thanks for sharing, Phyllis!
The large pyramid you saw driving into Memphis was one of the largest Bass Pro Shops stores in the country. You might have noticed the company logo on the outside of the pyramid. The Memphis Pyramid was originally a basketball arena and convention center, the Memphis Grizzlies of the NBA played their first couple seasons there until their current arena was built. Johnny Morris, founder and owner of Bass Pro Shops, purchased the building in the early 2000's and converted into a Bass Pro store!
yikes, I had no idea there were so many people into fishing and outdoor sports. very impressive building. thanks for the updae, ils!
@@TheGraveyardChannel I'm surprised you didn't know about Bass Pro, it's a multi-billion dollar company with dozens of stores all over the country. Though they're mostly here in the "flyover states" (Midwest and South), so you may not hear about it in SoCal, but yeah, hunting, fishing, and hiking are definitely big business!
Like you, I watched the reruns. I was born in'57. He was an all around good guy! Thank you Steve, it was special!
Thank you for another great video! My parents have always supported St.Judes
Such a good and caring man.
Lovely stained glass. I was a kid watching Danny Thomas and later daughter Marlo.
i agree. it's an underated art form. thanks, mary ann.
My mother was a nurse. And a big St. Jude’s supporter. My family made a “pilgrimage” to St. Jude’s when I was 13 or so. Pretty sure it looked nothing like it does now back then. Impressive to say the least. I personally remember watching The Danny Thomas television show. Might have name wrong. So long ago.
that's neat. looking at some of the vintage pics, it does look like it's changed and grown a lot over the years. thanks for sharing that, james!
🐾loved his show. It his daughter Marlo, I thought her show was the best. She was an independent woman with the best clothes and the best boyfriend.😌
That is BEYOND BEAUTIFUL what Danny did. Thank you for the video.
i agree. thanks, peter!
@@TheGraveyardChannel God bless you. You are welcome.
I definitely have donated to St Jude's Hospital. Really believe in this charity. I remember seeing Make Room For Daddy being on @ home but just in shadow. I was born in 1956 so I was there but it wasn't on my radar I guess.
He did a great thing with his wealth he truly loved the children with the children's hospital love him
I've been to St Jude and I am a supporter of St Jude.
Steve I was there in August 2019 while attending Elvis Week. My friend has worked there for 40 years. It's a beautiful place. We even toured the hospital.
How awesome! Thanks for sharing this with us Donna 😊👍
My family and I. Never miss the show. I just love that show.
I remember watching watching MAKE ROOM FOR DADDY.
My mother loved Danny Thomas
RIP Danny Thomas You helped so many Kids over the years
Beautiful I have helped StJude and grew up watching his show and when he appeared first on the one show Andy Griffithi. And i watched reruns because I was born in 1959 at the end in November.
Thank you for covering Danny thomas; david taylor's comment expresses my own sentiments perfectly. I expect we both remember daughter Marlo's '60's series "That Girl" also. i appreciate the Chet Atkins photo as well.
Thank you. I have been wanting to see this for years. I have been supporting St. Jude since a class project as a kid and I'm 44 now. The Bass Pro Shops are like museums for nature lovers. I visited the one in Missouri. Well worth visiting even if hunting, fishing, camping, and boating are not your thing. Again, thank you so much for this video.
that's neat that you've been a supporter since you were a kid. the bass pro shops were new to me. pretty amazing. thanks, paul!
@@TheGraveyardChannel I shared your video on my Adventureland Video Facebook page.
This is truly a very good blog, well done. He was one of my favorite person of. All time.
Hi Steve enjoyed your vlog 😀👍I watched the rest of your videos was good , but my favourite was elvis and Donna summer 🙂❤ 🇬🇧 and yes I'm feeling a lot better thanks. 🙋♂️
good to hear. thanks, mark!
I cried watching this , my heart is so touched by Danny Thomas and this wonderful hospital . Thank-you , Steve for sharing . Did you know that no parent ever receives a bill from St. Jude . They operate on donations alone. My husband and I are blessed to have given monthly donations for the past two years .
it is pretty wonderful, what they do. thanks for sharing that with us, martha!
My daddy thought the would for Chet Atkins. I always wondered where he was buried. Thanks buddy
I've never watched Danny Thomas but knew about him being the founder of St. Jude's very nice tour and I love the new website name.
thanks, jh!
Very awesome place!! Thank you for sharing!!
yes, it is. thanks for watching, matthew!
The trip to the museum was wonderful. What an amazing man . Your videos are full of interesting information. 🤗
