The speakers include former President Bill Clinton, actor Billy Crystal, and sportscaster Bryant Gumbel for Muhammad Ali’s funeral on Friday in Louisville, Kentucky. The former Oronoko Township resident — regarded as one of the greatest and most celebrated American athletes of all time, died Friday in a Phoenix-area hospital at the age of 74. A private funeral will be held Thursday, followed by Friday’s public event. Ali lived in an 85-acre estate along the St. Joseph River for roughly 30 years until moving to Arizona a decade ago. Public records indicate he sold the property last August.
