The family of late Chief Lari Williams, has released the burial arrangements for the late actor.
The first son of the deceased, Femi Williams, in a chat with News Agency of Nigeria on Thursday, disclosed that the late actor will be buried on April 14 in his home town, Yala Nkum in Ikom Local Government Area of Cross River.
He said that a service of songs would take place on April 11 in Lagos; and another on April 13 in his hometown before he would be laid to rest on April 14.
Williams said that the family decided to begin the celebration from Lagos; where his father spent most of his life.
According to him, the service of songs will take place in Trinity House, Zion Centre, Victoria Island, the church his father attended during his lifetime.
“My father impacted the lives of many young artistes through training and mentorship in the profession.
“He was quite a determined perfectionist who never compromised the profession, he lived and died loving the theatre instead of financial gains.
“My dad was a quite determined man who took interest in training young people, making them repeat their lines over and over again.
“Even when he was given short notice to go and perform on stage, he would gather his troupe, train the dancers and make them perform their best.”
He noted that late Williams, who was the only son out of three children, was not particular about financial rewards but only wanted to deliver.
Femi concluded “He was a great man that spent all his life on stage, acting, singing and dancing. He will be remembered without limit.”
Eelive.ng had in February reported how the Lari Williams died of an unknown illness at his home in Ikom, Cross River State.
