ANNAPOLIS, MD (April 19, 2011) – Governor Martin O’Malley and Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake announced jointly today official plans for the late Governor William Donald Schaefer to lie in state at the Maryland State House and Baltimore City Hall on Monday and Tuesday of next week.
“Governor Schaefer’s life was spent in service to the communities he loved, and his unrelenting drive to ‘do it now’ was a constant pursuit of a better Maryland for the people he served,” said Governor O’Malley. “And so it is fitting that as we mourn the loss of Maryland’s indomitable statesman, the people of Maryland can celebrate his legacy properly.”
“William Donald Schaefer personally touched the lives of thousands of Baltimore City residents, and it is fitting to allow the citizens of Baltimore to pay their final respects at City Hall, where he dedicated so much of his life to serving our great City,” said Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake. “For me, and for an entire generation of residents, he set the standard for what it means to be the Mayor of an American City.”
Governor Schaefer will lie in state at the Maryland State House in Annapolis beginning at 10am until 2pm on Monday, April 25th. A brief arrival ceremony will take place outside the Maryland State House at 10am, and the State House Rotunda will be opened for public viewing at that time.
Monday afternoon, a special tour of Baltimore will be arranged for Governor Schaefer through the neighborhoods and landmarks of the City he spent his life defending. Planned route will be announced later this week.
From 6pm until 9pm on Monday, Governor Schaefer will lie in state at Baltimore City Hall, and again all day Tuesday from 9am until 9pm. City Hall Rotunda will be opened for public viewing during those times.
Funeral services will take place at Old St. Paul’s Church in Baltimore at 11am on Wednesday, April 27, and internment at Dulaney Valley Memorial Gardens in Hunt Valley following funeral services.

this is the same willilam donal that called the eastern shore a shit house so i say he won't be missed here. thanks sjd
I wonder if the choir boys that grew into paid arsons that made the Harbor East development possible will be there .....no they are doing time and no media will listen.
The man lived with his mother until her death and his first friend Hilda Mae Snoops was a beard
Babs Mikulski covered his deviant affairs as he did her lesbian ones.
He got to be Gov and comptroller the same way Hoover reigned mean spirited back door politics that verged on blackmail and old school Tammany Hall extortion
9:05-Wow! That has got to be the most stream-of-conciousness thing I have read since William Faulkner. While I am not the biggest fan of "King Willie Don," with all due respect, the man has passed. Judgement is the Lord's and I think that bringing up unsubstaniated rumors about Hilda Mae and Babs Mikulski do nothing.
Just my two cents.
8:07, I totally agree. He lost my respect when he called my home district "the shithouse of Maryland." He was always one to say what he really felt, but I think that that comment crossed a line.
Joe, I know you don't like cursing, but this is a direct quote. Can you forgive me this one time?
