I think the best way to do it is to get a ride on the road and I think you can get a better look at the left of your car and I think you can get a better look at the game and the game is not going to be a problem or maybe you dont like that one picture doesn't mean I can't remember but he doesn't have a lot of time to do 3rd 3rd and I think you can get a better look at the game now that we can get the game back and we'll get to hang up on it is 6AM the next one is the next best friend.

A legend buried in our own city! Wow! Took my son here for our weekly mother-son dates (he loves his mommy). Quite surprised to see evidence of recent people visiting! Super cool!

Location marker is spot on. Bob Ross was a favorite of mine on TV watching him early in the mornings on the weekend. He left this world way to early, RIP and thank you for being part of my childhood.

Been a huge Bob Ross fan since I was a child and he was a major influence in me getting into art. His gravesite was quite a sight to behold. Tons of cool little pieces of art and trinkets. Very peaceful area.

To Bob Ross, the inspiration to not fear expressing creativity because of lack of knowledge, or support, and to allow ourselves to be guided and learn regarding our age and background.

Bob Ross is near the back and is touching to see the little things folks have left. Very glad we stopped today.

I recently realized that Bob Ross was laid to rest just moments from my home in West Orlando. I remember back in the 80s watching his show on tv. Back then, I was a little girl and I thought that I could never be an artist- although he always said that I could- anyone can. Today, my husband and I ventured out to find him in the Woodlawn Cemetery located just inside Gotha. We used maps and it took us right to the area we should find him. In other reviews below, I received mixed messages of where to find him- so we had to hunt, look at Google photos etc to try and make our hunt easier. Currently there’s a lot of debris under several of the bigger trees, so we had to brush them off to see if he was hidden- finally, I found a photo that had his location circled. I’m not sure why everyone was so mysterious about where to find him. If you follow maps, his site is just to the left of the “Lot O” sign. Step left about 200 feet and he is right there by the road under one of the smaller trees. If you’re looking at The Holy Family statue, he’s in front of that, to the left, all the way up front under a tree by the road. Many people have left behind trinkets, coins, stamped coins, silk flowers etc. I left behind a painting and a vase with silk sunflowers- both that I painted. I felt him smiling. He’s a happy and peaceful guy. If you take the time to read his story, it’s pretty cool. From his permed hair, military, living in Alaska and working for free for all of those years, painting happy little trees. The trees in the Woodlawn Cemetery, they are happy- yet they are grand and not little. While walking around I came upon some very old people from the 1800 and early 1900s- from WW1, WW2 and even an infant daughter. Jesus overlooks the entire cemetery and it has a very calming, cheerful and beautiful vibe. If you go, take a little something you made and leave it there. You can tell that he was loved. The article I read said he was kind, gentle and humble and requested that only his immediate family be present for his burial. Maybe he knows that people come now to pay their respects. *The photo I’m posting of the ladies waving, is not me- they were there searching as well- so we showed them where he was. I told them I was posting their photo for reference of how to find him. It shouldn’t be a secret- he was loved by many.
