PROVIDENCE -- State lawmakers have canceled some sessions and hearings to attend the wake and funeral of Woonsocket Sen. Roger Badeau, who died last week. Badeau was 71 and died from pancreatic cancer. He was first elected to the state Senate in 1984. A spokesman for Senate President Joseph Montalbano says Badeau's wake is scheduled for today, and his funeral is scheduled for tomorrow morning. The Senate has canceled several committee hearings so lawmakers can attend the wake. The Senate has also canceled its scheduled session on Tuesday evening in honor of Badeau. Governor Carcieri is also scheduled to attend the funeral tomorrow, according to his calendar for the day. Read Badeau's obituary, check calling hours and funeral information, and sign an online guestbook. -- The Associated Press
