Ronnie James Dio public memorial 5-30-10

I attended the public memorial for Ronnie James Dio at Forest Lawn yesterday. The turnout was great- so great that when I arrived a little before noon (2 hours early), all of the wristbands to sit inside the Hall of Liberty had been dispersed. I found a seat outside and was able to see everything on the big screen that had been set up for us. For over three hours, friends and family spoke about Ronnie, his music and his impact on them and the world. It was very touching. Eddie Trunk did as fantastic job as the host/emcee.
