NEW YORK (AP) - Hundreds of people are remembering Grammy-nominated gospel singer the Rev. Timothy Wright at the Brooklyn church where he was pastor.
Ben Vereen was among those who paid respects at a viewing Saturday at the Grace Tabernacle Christian Center Church of God in Christ. The actor and dancer had known Wright for years and tells Newsday "his spirit will always be with me."
Remembrances are set to continue with a second viewing and a concert tribute Sunday. Wright's funeral is scheduled for Monday.
Wright died April 24. The 61-year-old "Godfather of Gospel" had been paralyzed from the neck down and in poor health since a July 4 car crash that killed his wife and grandson.
Son David Wright says he feels joy at knowing his father is no longer suffering.
