Bill Cosby Pays Tribute to Lewis Katz in Temple University Sweatpants

Bill Cosby stuck out amid the sea of dark suits Wednesday at his friend and Philadelphia Inquirer co-owner Lewis Katz's funeral, donning a pair of red Temple University sweatpants and a school T-shirt.

The 72-year-old Katz died Saturday in a plane crash. He was Cosby's classmate at Temple. The Philadelphia school hosted ex-President Bill Clinton and other dignitaries for Wednesday's remembrance, The Associated Press reported.

At one point during the memorial, Cosby, 76, nearly fell off the edge of the stage, later explaining he couldn't find the stairs.

He also joked about having to go to the bathroom during the many long tributes, but he turned serious when he spoke of Katz's legacy. He told mourners to keep up the schools and other projects his friend funded.

Cosby said: "You don't have to have big money. All you have to have is yourself."
