Memorial Service For Clarence "Big House" Gaines Moved To LJVM Annex
April 22, 2005
Winston-Salem, NC - Winston-Salem State University officials announced on Thursday afternoon that the Gaines family has decided to move the memorial service for legendary WSSU basketball coach, Clarence "Big House" Gaines to the LJVM Annex due to its larger capacity to accomodate those people wishing to pay their respects to Coach Gaines.The service, originally scheduled for the K.R. Williams Auditorium on the campus of WSSU is anticipated to bring far more attendees than the Williams Auditorioum could hold, and therefore the change was made. The visitation will continue to be from 12:00 PM until 2:00 PM with the memorial service lasting from 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM.
Russell Funeral Home is handling all the arrangements
for the visitation and memorial service and can be reached via telephone
at (336) 722-3459. The Gaines family has requested that no floral arrangements
be sent to their residence or the funeral home.
In lieu of flowers, the family
has asked that those who wish to do so, donate to the C.E Gaines Endowed
Scholarship Fund at Winston-Salem State University by sending contributions
to:
Donor Records Office
311 Blair Hall
Winston-Salem State University
