Moyer

COLUMBUS — Gov. Ted Strickland says the Ohio Supreme Court should rename its building in honor of Chief Justice Thomas Moyer, who died Friday.

Strickland says it would be an appropriate honor because Moyer loved the Ohio Judicial Center overlooking the Scioto River in Columbus and worked hard to have it restored. Any renaming would be up to court justices.

The court said today that Moyer will lie in state for public mourning from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday in the building. Condolences also may be e-mailed to condolences@sc.ohio.gov or mailed to the court.

A public funeral service will be 11 a.m. Saturday at First Community Church, Marble Cliff. Burial is private.

The court also says it plans to hold a public tribute to Moyer on Law Day, May 1.
