“This morning, I got to sit in lotus by my father’s side, chanting and meditating for 2 hours,” he posted on Instagram Monday. “As I chanted his last chant, I watched him take his last earthly breath. Thank you, Dad, for letting me help you leave your body for the Astral Plane!” The elder Wright would was also generous, Dorian Wright said, always lending a helping hand to musicians and his neighbors.
David Pack, of Ambrosia fame, was a neighbor and friend of Gary Wright’s who experienced that generosity.
