Family, Friends Pay Tribute At Private Gibb Funeral

Reuters reports that with emotional words but no music, family and friends paid final tribute on Wednesday to Maurice Gibb of the legendary disco band the Bee Gees. A pastor introduced the service, but otherwise it was non-religious, with no music, just quiet and sometimes emotional words spoken by a string of family and friends, said one of the mourners, family friend and local television journalist Jennifer Valoppi. Gibb’s dark brown coffin was surrounded by white flowers and photos of him, Valoppi said.
