The memorial begins at 3 p.m. Sunday in the open-air Fess Parker Rotunda at the hotel, 633 E. Cabrillo Blvd., with a memory book available for remembrances and mementoes.
Beginning at 4 p.m., interfaith celebrant Saral Burdette will officiate at the celebration of deGruy’s life.
Afterward, family and close friends will hold a private Circle of Friends on the beach across the street.
Memorial contributions can be made to Santa Barbara Middle School, Heal the Ocean or Mobile Baykeeper in his native Alabama.
