Just before the start of the Major League Baseball regular season, Rodger Brulotte passed away.
Naturally, the entire baseball community in Quebec is in mourning. Paying him a fitting tribute is a goal many people have in mind for the days ahead.
And now, we know how the general public will be able to pay tribute to him.
Rodger Brulotte will lie in repose on Thursday, April 9, at IGA Stadium. This is obviously symbolic, given that Jarry Stadium was the Expos' first home.
Come say a final goodbye to Rodger
Here are the details of the viewing and the ceremony, which will be televised. https://t.co/J5Mewha8NV

Between noon and 7 p.m., people can come to offer their condolences to Rodger's family and loved ones.
Two days later, on April 11, a ceremony will take place in a church, but the public will not be allowed to attend. That said, it will be streamed online for those who wish to watch it anyway.
The format is ideal. It pays tribute to Rodger, who loved baseball and connecting with people, and it also allows the family to have a more private moment a few days later.
Note that people who want to attend on April 9 wearing Expos colors are welcome to do so.
