Super Bowl Update

J.R. Ewing will get a proper funeral during the second season of TNT's popular series, Dallas.

Larry Hagman, who originated the character during the show's 13-year run on CBS and revived the role last year, died Nov. 23 at 81 after battling cancer, and TNT spokeswoman Erin Felentzer told the Associated Press that the character will die with the legendary actor.

Felentzer said that the network won't say how the patriarch of the Ewing clan will die.  The episode which will include the funeral hasn't yet been filmed, but TV Line reports it will air on March 11.

A celebration of life for former WIKY program director and afternoon host Mark Baker, who died unexpectedly last Wednesday at his home in Mt. Carmel, Tenn., has been scheduled for next week.

The celebration will be held at Preservation Hall, which is located at 200 State Street in Newburgh, on Monday, Nov. 26.  Those attending are asked to gather at 5:30 p.m. CT.

If you would like to make a contribution in memory of Mark, the family requests that, in lieu of flowers, that you send a donation in his name to your local no-kill animal shelter.

Funeral services have been set for longtime WOMI morning show host Joe Lowe, who died Monday after a battle with cancer.

Visitation for Joe will be from 2 to 8 p.m. CT Wednesday and Thursday and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. CT at the James H. Davis Funeral Home, 3009 Frederica St. in Owensboro.

Lowe's funeral service will be held at 3 p.m. CT Friday at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, 4029 Frederica St. in Owensboro, with burial to follow in Elmwood Cemetery.
