A funeral service will be held Wednesday for Washington and Lee University football coach Gary Fallon, 56, who died Saturday at his home in Lexington.

The service will be held at 11 a.m. at Lee Chapel on the W&L campus in Lexington. The family will receive friends from 3 to 5 p.m. and from 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesday at Harrison Funeral Home in Lexington.

Fallon will be buried in Lexington's Stonewall Jackson Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting that donations be made to St. Patrick's Church at 221 W. Washington St. in Lexington.

Fallon, Washington and Lee's winningest football coach, is survived by his wife, Patti, their three daughters, Kerry, Kelly and Sue, and seven grandchildren.

Fallon coached the Generals for 17 seasons, winning two Old Dominion Athletic Conference championships (1981 and 1985) and compiling a 76-85-1 record.
