I met Danny Thomas and his wife in 1977. I was living in Lake Tahoe and employed at Sahara Tahoe Hotel and Casino. He was performing in the main showroom nightly for a week and stayed in the suite, on the floor where I worked. I talked briefly with them almost every day. He would stop at my cart sometimes and talk awhile. Once he was walking down the hall towards the elevator and passing by the open door of the employee break room he saw me , and walked inside and said hi. He gave me a hug. He and his wife were very kind. The day they left, he gave me $20.00 ( alot in 1977) and a St. Jude prayer card. He said " keep it with you." I asked my friend who worked on another floor to take my picture with him. It's one of my favorite photos and is displayed in my home. Mr. Danny Thomas was a very kind man who touched the lives of millions with his laughter, concern and love for children. He had a heart of gold. I was blessed to have met them.

My God bless Danny Thomas and God Bless all the people that work at St. Jude's Hospital who are taking care of the kids. Thanks sharing the story of his life. It is wonderful how people donate money to this wonderful place.

God bless you Danny. God bless everyone at St. Jude.

I can only imagine St. Jude meeting him as he enters Paradise embracing him and saying well done, good and faithful servant.

What a wonderful story for a wonderful Man.

Shows you that prayer is the greatest gift we have. I thank the Lord for people like him.What a beautiful legacy he left his family and the world.God bless us all. Thank you our lord and St. Jude.

May God continue to bless Danny Thomas and his wonderful family .

I'm from, and was born in Toledo Ohio. My mother was a domestic when I was 3 in 1957. She was able to take me with her to some of the homes she cleaned, many of which ranged from upper middle class - to very affluent. - for the times. At the time, I had no clue about class and race differences - Had no idea what a "domestic" was - I played with the kids if there were kids, and that's all I cared about. As I got older after we moved from Toledo in the early 60's , 1962 - she found good work -still as a domestic - but for even more wealthy families.I won't drop names - many are still around, and well known to this day. I found out as a teen when she retired, that a letter given to her by Danny Thomas, in 1957 on her last day working for him - was why she was never without work, in the best of homes in Indianapolis at that time. She never rode a bus to or from...She never worked a holiday....and had liberal paid time off whenever she needed it. Unheard of!!. It dawned on me why I had so many toys, and clothes compared to kids in my neighborhood. Bikes that were like new - just outgrown....Tonka sets...games....things I knew she couldn't afford as a domestic. But she worked for such generous families due to a recommendation letter written by Mr Thomas - and word of mouth. This is just partly why I send $100 to St, Judes on her birthday, every year.

The Greatest. Danny Thomas ❤

A big thank you to St.jude my son is a patient at St.jude.

I grew up watching Danny T and learned of his good works on my grandmother's television in the early 1960's. She was a Lebanese-Syrian Catholic who attended the Resurrection Church across the street from her home in Brooklyn, NY. When it came time for Enlightened Little Souls, Inc to support a charity on our Izzyandme.com website, this seemed a natural choice. God Bless you, DT - may your good works continue perpetually!

Such a generous heart!

I think that was amazing what he did. He didn't have to build a hospital.

Danny is in heaven for what god compelled him to do helped millions of children and he is to be admired as a faithful servant of god

All this from one candle. Rest in peace

Great entertainer and a great man!

Thank you Danny Thomas for all you did and still do, with the help of St. Jude, and now I ask St. Jude to help my son Peter to come back to the Lord Jesus. Thank you St. Jude

GREAT SAINT JUDE !!! THE GREAT SAINT OF HOPELESS CAUSES !!!

Now thats a true loving man .gods speed my son keep God laughing

We need more people like him in the world.

Very cool!

I wish Danny Thomas hospital would have been when my baby was sick with cancer, my baby had cancer in 1957 ! N it was not known to much about cancer at that day n time!! I think his hospital opened in 1962 ! God bless Danny Thomas!

that s a truly great story..one of selflessness..

Danny Thomas accomplished great things. Greater than being a successful entertainer. Imagine being 3 Or 4 and facing death when you have not even started life. He should be made a saint if that is possible. I know the pope gave him the highest award possible for a civilian he was a great man the greatest A great Christian a great Catholic. A great Lebanese Catholic. Many Lebanese business man helped him with his dream

so many characters come and go ,in the world of celebrity..Danny is in a class by himself..organized religion has their definition of sainthood..i have my own, it's not razzle dazzle,not apparitions, it's a person's work on earth,..Danny .

I loved the Danny Thomas show

There have been many celebrities, lots of fame and fortune..but only one Danny. An absolute saint.❤

Danny Thomas was a great humanitarian. I am pleased to help support his legacy to treat the many children seeking to overcome cancer. God Bless Danny.

The coffee table story is fantastic.

Inspiring

I can only imagine this man’s Soul being welcomed into Heaven

I loved this man as a performer, and he evolved into an amazing human being...

What a man of God. What a wonderful instrument for His works.

Merci

So proud my Lebanese fellow!

What a great legacy. Married to the same woman, two solid citizen children and a Childrens Hospital.

There is only one way to heaven

Like his commerical says, you should only have to worry about your child. He believed in socialized healthcare. But the wealthiest country in the world, the US, does not.

Dr. Thomas, Is it possible that the cancers mutating. With each person, then like flu from our breathing changing it's strength and conditioning. Can we tell the difference, is there a difference between same strain of cancer. Two. If know a type of cancer that's cureable, can we use it against another type then cure. Using it against itself? Think we need to rethink our strategy. Williams ll, James r IBEW local 94 international NJ recommend
