A Big Arena’s Small Memorial For Joe Frazier

A Big Arena's Small Memorial For Joe Frazier Hickey attended Joe Frazier's memorial: "What they, and hundreds of others who attended the first of three local memorial services for the former heavyweight champion of the world, would see inside was a simple display. No frills. Just like the man who'd requested a closed-casket viewing led his life." [Newsworks]
