'Rowdy' Roddy Piper -- Family Calls for Worldwide Moment of Silence During Funeral

"Rowdy" Roddy Piper's funeral is scheduled for next week in Oregon and the family is inviting all of his fans to take part in a moment of silence to honor the late wrestler.

Piper's daughter Ariel tells TMZ the family is having a private funeral in Oregon on August 11, which will not be open to the public.

But Ariel says at 10:30 AM the day of the funeral, they're asking Piper's millions of fans to observe a moment of silence ... which they'll observe at the service as well.

A memorial will be held in L.A. August 17 at the Comedy Store in Hollywood, but that service will be private as well.
