Denny Crum's Monument Unveiled at Cave Hill Cemetery

News summary

A monument honoring legendary University of Louisville basketball coach Denny Crum was unveiled at Cave Hill Cemetery nearly two years after his passing in May 2023. The 10-foot tall granite monument, which showcases a depiction of Crum's signature red jacket and includes a heartfelt inscription reflecting his love for his family and the Louisville community, faced significant delays due to an incident in which the ship transporting it was sunk by Houthi rebels in the Red Sea. Susan Sweeney Crum, Denny's widow, expressed her relief and joy at seeing the monument finally in place, emphasizing its significance as a place for fans to remember him not just as a coach but as a person who deeply valued his community. The monument features Crum's signature and a quote stating, "My love for my family, the fans, and this community kept me in Louisville and made it my home." Benches are also set to be added to the site for visitors to pay their respects, creating a lasting tribute to a figure who had a profound impact on the city and its basketball legacy.
