Professor Emeritus of Business Eddie Easley died on Wednesday in Winston-Salem. His funeral will be held on Saturday at 11 a.m. in Wait Chapel. His family will receive friends in the chapel beginning at 10:30.

It started as a classroom assignment: start your own business with $40 and run it for three days. The result was Wake Wash, launched by three seniors, which has lasted far more than three days and has liberated fellow students from late-night laundry room duty.
