“Just like Clark Kent underneath his beautiful things that he was wearing, his clothing, [Richard] is wearing a tank top and shorts,” he said, referring to what his brother was buried in.
“Why, you ask? Because we think that God has another plan for him, and we want to make sure that he was going to be in his normal costume that we all know and love to help the saints and the angels get into shape.”
“So I’m here to say to you that even though he’s not here and I know he’s in spirit here tonight, Richard Simmons will forever be sweating with the Holies,” he concluded, adding: “Thank you so much for coming.”
At the same time, his family is currently in a legal battle with his housekeeper and friend regarding his estate.
