Former players and community leaders will speak, including old interviews with Williams.

“It was all because of his work, his promotion,” Magic CEO Alex Martins said. “Everyone likes to refer to Pat as a dreamer. I like to refer to Pat as a doer. He was the ultimate promoter, and he did whatever to get to his vision, to his goal.”

The special tribute to Pat Williams will air this Sunday on Channel 9 at 12:30 p.m.
