It was really overwhelming':
Thousands attend funeral
of veteran who had no family
< >
A Florida funeral director said Wednesday on "Fox & Friends" that it was humbling to see the local community turn out in droves to honor a veteran who died with no family.
Edward Pearson, who served in the Army from 1962 to 1964 and was discharged honorably, died at age 80 in Naples, Fla., last week.
Michael Hoyt, of Legacy Options funeral home, posted on social media about Pearson's death, noting that he had no immediate family and that all members of the community were invited to pay their respects at Sarasota National Cemetery. The post was shared thousands of times.
