A memorial service was held for humorist Art Buchwald. Media luminaries, dignitaries, family and friends eulogized Buchwald with warm and funny stories about his wit, love, generosity, and talent. Two extended video clips were shown, one of Buchwald speaking humorously at the 1981 Kennedy Center honors, and one of friends and family visiting with him at his 81st birthday party. More than 1,100 persons attended the memorial service.

Buchwald was born October 20, 1925 and died January 17, 2007. He was a long-running syndicated columnist who received the Pulitzer Prize for Outstanding Commentary in 1982 and in 1986. close
