The memorial service for the legendary Voice of the Georgia Bulldogs Larry Munson will be Dec. 10 at Sanford Stadium.

UGA announced the one-hour service will start at 1 p.m. Stadium gates will open at noon. Seating will be available on the south side of the stadium. Parking will be free in surface lots and the Tate Student Center deck. The ceremony will be moved to Stegeman Coliseum if there is bad weather.

Munson (9/28/1922 – 11/20/2011) died after complications from pneumonia. He was the play-by-play of the University of Georgia Bulldogs football from 1966-2008.

In lieu of flowers, the Munson family requests that donations be made to the Noah Harris Cheerleading Scholarship. The endowed scholarship is awarded annually to a student-athlete on the cheerleading team who demonstrates outstanding character, leadership and dedication to the athletic program and the community. The fund was established in 2006 in memory of U.S. Army 1st Lt. Noah Harris, who was a UGA cheerleader.

Donation checks should be made payable to the UGA Foundation with the designation: Noah Harris Cheerleading Scholarship in memory of Larry Munson. They may be sent to the Georgia Bulldog Club, PO Box 1472, Athens, Ga. 30603.
