I'm glad you posted this, I had to leave & couldn't reply. I think Larry had a stroke later in life also. Not sure how Shemp passed, but Moe did live the longest of the 3 other main Stooges. Larry was from the Philly area.
I'm from Harrisburg and watched them on one of the Philly channels every day after school.
Shemp, Moe and Larry were the original 3. I think they were called Ted Healy's Stooges or something like that. Then Shemp left for his own show as a boxer, Knuckles something or other. Shemp did box. Then enter Curly. Shemp returned after Curly's death. Louis Feinberg (Larry) was a very good violinist and boxed too.
