Former Oakland County Chief L. Brooks Patterson

The public is invited to attend a viewing, visitation and funeral for longtime Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson.

The viewing is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon in the conference center of the L. Brooks Patterson Building in Waterford Township and visitation is set for Wednesday and Thursday at Woodside Bible Church in Troy.

The funeral is scheduled for Thursday afternoon at the church. The burial will be private.

The 80-year-old Patterson died Saturday at his Independence Township home, months after announcing he had pancreatic cancer. He was halfway through a seventh term leading the affluent county, but said he would not seek re-election next year.

WKAR’s first live pledge drive since federal funding was eliminated is happening now. Our goal for the drive is $60,000 and reaching it will bring us one step closer to closing the federal funding gap.
