Moe’s 120th Birthday
On June 19, 2017, the actor’s daughter Joan Howard Maurer paid tribute to her father on the occasion of his 120th birthday, which would have been on June 19. The Stooges’ official website featured an excerpt from a love poem Maurer wrote for his wife, along with the following commentary: “In addition to his love, Moe had a strong desire to spread his good fortune to others.” In his poem “My Wish,” which he dedicated to my mother in the 1920s, my father demonstrates a side of himself that is less well recognized today.”
