- Share via
SAN FRANCISCO — Joe DiMaggio’s funeral service will be a private affair for about 30 family members and close friends Thursday at Sts. Peter and Paul Church, where DiMaggio married his first wife, actress Dorothy Arnold, in 1939.
The service at the church, whose twin steeples tower over the North Beach section of San Francisco in which DiMaggio spent most of his childhood, will be closed to the public, church officials said Tuesday.
DiMaggio’s only son, Joe Jr., will be one of the pallbearers. The two had been estranged and had not seen each other in two years.
DiMaggio died Monday at his Florida home at the age of 84.
