Aurelio "Al" Tomaini (February 25, 1912 – August 30, 1962), was once the world's tallest person.
At the age of 12, he was taller than his father, who stood 6 feet, 3 inches tall.
His parents consulted a physician who diagnosed the cause of his giantism to be an over-active pituitary gland, similar to other human giants.
He was working in a circus at the Great Lakes Exposition in Cleveland in 1943, when he met his future wife, Jeanie Smith.
He was owner and operator of Giants Camp lodge and Fish Camp, a television repair shop, and a tourist trailer court.
