A big Thank You to the Motor City media and to everyone who came out Sunday night to pay tribute to John O’Leary!
Update #1: A local funeral director has stepped up to offer his services. He will be claiming John’s body and arranging the cremation. We will be scattering John’s ashes at all of his favorite haunts (no pun intended), Cobo Hall, Pine Knob, Bookies, Harpo’s, The Ritz, Wildwood Amphitheater, to name a few. This will be videotaped and posted for all to view.
Update #2: The entire memorial is being assembled for viewing by those who were unable to attend. A link will be posted soon – stay tuned.
Update #3: A preliminary examination for Sean Lamoureux is scheduled for Feb. 8. He was arraigned Nov. 24 in 30th District Court in Highland Park, three days after the discovery of John’s body.
Please do not hesitate to reach out with any requests for interviews or Memorial photos.
Making Entertainment Great Again,
