Is there a specific request for where memorial contributions might go in lieu of flowers?

[Lancerlady]

Terri,

I haven't received an official statement from the family pertaining to that yet, but believe me as soon as one becomes available it will be posted on the website and all available media outlets.

You are on track in your thinking, because I want to do the same thing, myself.

You need to get a small ensemble of 27th alums to play Danny Boy at the graveside....entirely appropriate.

That is happening Thursday night at the funeral home although I don't think it will be small.

I didn't doubt it would be done....and I'm fairly certain George will hear it.

"George B is being waked at the Vertuccio Funeral Home, 773 Broadway in Revere. The All Corps Brass Ensemble will perform "The Lord's Prayer" and "Danny Boy" there at 7:00 on Thursday(rehearsal for this performance will be at 7:00PM on Tuesday at the Revere Legion Post on Broadway in Revere). Following the performance on Thursday, we will adjourn to the G & T Lounge for our regular Thursday rehearsal."
