I'm hoping to sneak away and make it to pay my respects.

Well I can honestly say that this is the first "Funeral Roll Call" thread I've seen.

Warren Rabb's eulogy tugged at the heartstrings.

From the TV, it didn't look all that crowded. Can anybody who went verify this?

Probably a dumb question, but can the live stream still be watched?

I didn’t get to go to the visitation today but I did see a large contingent of former tiger greats at the past time. They were whooping it up and having a great time. My long time mentor Gus Kinchen was there and we got to catch up. I didint look long enough to give names but I know many from the ‘59 team we’re there!

I wasn’t able to make it to BR today.

But I was lucky. My father was friends with Alvin Roy and through him, became friends with Mr. Billy. I had a game jersey. No clue where it went. But one thing I do have is an autograph ball from 1958. Ink is fading but so many great names can still be seen.
We lost a family friend.

It wasn't packed by any means. Definitely thought more people would have gone. Decent little turnout nonetheless

The casket looks like the one for Billy Graham, which was made by the inmates at Angola.
