Johnny Orr visitation

I saw it only through the register and it didn't mention.

did say that the family would be there from 4-8 I think
 
Anyone go to this? Am thinking about heading up. Curious about the logistics
 
We made it about an hour after it started. There is a red and gold urn sitting in front of his statute at the entrance of Johnny's, with a candle beside it. There were a handful of flower bouquets in front of the statute and nearby tables. As a line forms they are prepared for it to snake around the Hilton concourse so no one has to freeze outside. The main seating area is dark, with the video playing on the center court screens, and the TVs in the concourse. They also have a funeral program (bulletin? not sure what you call it) that you can take with you, as well as sign-in to a guest book.
 
I could not be there tonight.....please know that probably thousands like me with they could have been. This loss has surprised me in my own emotional response.......Johnny presided over an intense time in my life. He reminded me of my grandfather too....intense in life and and love and full of joy. Godspeed. All reports from the visitation are appreciated......we are there too in spirit.
 
Very nice video. Great to see the sincerity from the players and of course, Freddy. Very touching.
 
I always find it a testament to the decadent on how happy a visitation/funeral can be. More smiles and laughter than tears. I've sure that is how he would have wanted it.
 
Anybody catch the number of former player there? Though I saw Eaton and Bankhead and Coach Krafticin (sp).
