Roy Campanella’s funeral service--scheduled to be held this week--will be private, at the request of his family, the Dodgers said Monday.
Campanella died of a heart attack Saturday night at his home in Woodland Hills.
He was 71.
Scheduled to speak at the service are Mayor Tom Bradley, Dodger Manager Tom Lasorda, former Dodger pitcher Joe Black and Dodger broadcaster Vin Scul- ly.
Black and Lasorda were teammates of Campan- ella when Scully began his announcing career with the Dodgers in 1950.
In lieu of flowers, a fund has been established by the family.
To make donations, checks can be sent to the Roy and Roxie Campanella Physical Therapy Scholarship Fund, c/o Dodger Stadium, 1000 Elysian Park Avenue, Los Angeles, 90012.
