I received word from Dawn Moore that the family has decided to have a public memorial service. Dawn wrote the following:

"I have arranged for a memorial service open to all to be held at the Autry Western Heritage Museum in Burbank, California on Sunday, January 16th at 11:00 am. As I am sure you have gathered, I am an extremely private person and this decision was not an easy one for me but, I felt compelled to offer a chance to all of my father's fans a chance to share in a final goodbye and I know they will show our family the gracious respect my father has shown all of them throughout his career."
