He was amazing being. He was able to become successful working for The International Shoe company despite his condition. Seems like everywhere he went, he made people smile. R.i.p
That should be what life is about☺️
So true @Nicky Rich. 🤗
Just like Andre The Giant

@@MasonBrumbaugh do you not know math?
@@perthaputton1203 Yes. if he was born on February 22 of 1918 then if he died on July 15 of 1940 then he would have already had his birthday in 1940 making him 23 years old. Do you know math?
So young only 22.
So sad,Robert passed at 22,may he RIP.

Goliath was over 9 ft tall.
He was 9'9".
Imagine somebody or someone who is tall as Goliath like over 9 ft tall like 9'7" or 9'9" or short of 10 ft over 10 feet tall like 10'9"
How would you guy's react if somebody's as tall as Goliath like way taller than Robert Wadlow?
And how much that person weigh if he was like the same height as Goliath like 9'9" or 10'9"?

@@mijaroprime9509 how much you weigh if you were that height like 9'9" or 10'9" as big as Goliath?
This is so cool. My great great grandmother on my father's side knew Robert and went to school with him. When he traveled they sent letters to one another. My aunt still has the letters and class photos.
We recently found out Robert Wadlow is on our family tree. I am so glad you cherish the letters from Robert wadlow to your Great Great Grandparents.. God bless you.
That’s fantastic. Robert by all accounts seemed like a nice man
WOW... Wonderful
👏👏👏
That just made me smile about how the teacher kissed his head after he had fallen
They're not allowed to comfort you nowadays, they'd be fired.

You did his memory proud, love the way you treat the dead so respectfully
Agreed. Very respectful.
Yes I totally agree with you all the way from Baton Rouge Louisiana 2022 please be careful and safe 💕💕
The common problem with being exceptionally tall is heart problems
Marfan Syndrome
andre the giant died the same way
And many more problems unfortunately 😪
Yeah, our organs don't handle abnormal growth like that. That is why people that are really big or really small live such short lives most of the time. It's not just hard on their joints, but their insides just can't function right. R.I.P Robert.

At 5'3" I could only imagine standing next to this guy and looking up.What an amazing person. R.I.P Gentle Giant.
You would probably be up to his hips.
I’m 411 I’ll probably be up to his knee
At 5'9" his walking stick would be taller than me
Andre the Giant would have stood at Robert's armpit. Amazing
My husband died in 2006. He was 6ft. 7in. and 240 lbs. His son was 6ft. 10 in. No where near this man height. So sad his life was so painful.
So Sorry For Your Loss .. Beyond 6 ' 5 " The Average Death Age Is 51 Years Old

Sending love, Carol.
Sorry for your loss ❤️

It’s nice to hear he didn’t get bullied in his childhood for being that tall! ❤️ 🙏🏼

Damnnn!
Was that weight with the body or just the coffin?
@@philliphelms6505 with the body
Thank you so much!
It's so nice that you are giving life into these people that have passed away by visiting their final resting place & telling their story. Thanks so much, you never fail us!
What an amazing story. Thank You Lamont at Large for sharing his story with us. His memory shall forever live on.
yes!
Yessssss
Sad that he had to live his life as an exhibit.😢
He had no choice ... he'd be kind of hard to hide 😕
I swear I’m 6 foot 9 and that’s how it feels
@@stroodge1341 I'm 6'4 and stocky. Always feel like I'm being stared at or watched too
He never complained about it. He was too nice and accepted it.
Wow. Heard of wardlow but never knew his story in depth. Amazing narrator you are Lamont ❤
Wadlow*
I've heard of this man and another really tall man in another country. The story was more interesting hearing u tell it so well Lamont. Amazing story.✌🏾
was it in the UK by any chance Tiffany?

Same I wish I can meet Robert waldlow in person he is a nice person I'm 18 and 5'9.3
Even his headstone is taller than everyone's around him.
You look happier than usual today.
Keep doing what you are doing.
Thank you for sharing his story, very interesting young man may he rest in peace.
Take care my friend , be safe.
Keep your video's coming. ❤

He was estimated to be 9'2" in shoes, the 8'11.1" measurement was in bare stocking feet!
I saw this man's photo and read his stats in the Guinness Book of World Records in the mid 1970's. I was a kid then and absolutely amazed.
R.I.P. you are still remembered today, sir…
Interesting story of the gentle giant. Thanks Lamont, looking foward to see the next video. God bless.
He was born in 1918, same year as my late mother

Lol
They're all with him his parents and siblings if any family members are still living that's amazing
Blessings Everyone ✌️. Sorry you hurt your feet at the gym. You’re right when we have that pain we understand the pain others go through.
Robert died of an infection
His shoes were wrong for his feet, didn’t fit right. That’s where the infections came to be.

Bill Walton, the basketball player had small feet, which might have helped him be more agile - big men usually have huge feet and often don't move so quickly. His small feet couldn't take the pounding of playing, he was often injured and never fulfilled his potential as an athlete. Officially Walton was 6-11 but was probably 7' 2". Bob Wadlow would have towered over most NBA players.
Your stories are fascinating. Keep up the good work Lamont!
Love from liverpool, UK... lemont you never fail to entertain us with these great videos. 🤩🤩
Lamont* his name is literally right there 😂
Jerri: Greetings from your Yankee cousins from across the pond.

You ever get to Ripleys they have his life size wax statue there. The old Guinness book museum sold them to Ripleys

Extraordinary Story!!!!! "RIP" Mr. Robert Wadlow 😥
💕💖 thank u I been asking for dis for so long
RIP Robert harris 😘😊 Thanks Lamont another touching post.
Thank you Lamont. You give total respect to these wonderful people. RIP Dear Robert.
He weighted that much yet he was a thin guy, it was all from his height. The teacher that kissed his head is a real human being with great understanding.
Hey Lamont. Thanks for covering this story. I've always been interested in this story.
Meeting Christmas! Keep the great content up!! 💋
Thanks again for another great story and video!
Amazing! I’m sure the whole being a giant, a gentle one, was tough. He did it with grace, class and dignity. RIP!
Next time you're there you should also go see the little park dedicated to him with a life sized statue of Robert and his chair.
An amazing story!! Thanx for sharing Lamont.
Thanks for all the visits you take us on Lamont.
My dad saw him in Lawrenceburg, KY.
Wow!!!
Very interesting Lamont!!!🙂🙋🏻♀️👍
Keep doing your thing Lamont. Your work is appreciated brother.👊🤩.
RIP Robert ..... thanks for another great video Lamont
We want our time machine back!!!! Last night you were in Texas. ;)
Thank you Lamont, very touching tribute to Robert.
He was, by all accounts, a gentle, amiable person who walked through life with dignity.
His headstone, while not unusually tall, is nonetheless taller than most of the others in his section of the cemetery, and his grave unmistakenly extends to the street.
Just imagine if he would’ve played basketball 🏀
He wasn’t even able to walk correctly how would he play basketball??
@@willtobin7645 In his early years before his foot began to give him trouble
@@willtobin7645 He could have stood in the middle of the court and made shots from there. Nobody could have taken the ball away from him.
Stand at the net and give him alley-oops all game long.
Guy would tear the house down

Excellent work brother, thank you so much for the video! Support from Brazil! 🇧🇷
Thanks Lamont, you are incredible, very informed, i wasn't aware of Robert being the tallest man who ever lived,.
R.I.P. Robert..
Gone to soon , but not forgotten
Good video!
I saw a statue of Robert Wadlow in Copenhagen of all places. It said it was true to life and I couldn’t believe the difference between my height, my husband’s and his. I’ve seen the pictures but standing next to a representation of him really made me realize how tall he was.
That is awesome they have a statue of Robert all the way in Denmark.
Great story Lamont. Thank you.
Another great video Lamont thanks.
What a beautiful story
I'm sure he made his parents and family very proud. He seemed to be so humble
And just by his pictures I could just see How he loved to look handsome. It made me happy just knowing the kids never bullied him because some people can actually be so cruel. Thanks again for sharing this amazing video
I love the way you express yourself? Very gifted
RIP Robert wadlow, so sad he had to go through the pain & getting kicked in the shins. May he rest.
