HEMPSTEAD, Long Island (WABC) -- A wake and a funeral will be held Thursday night for the 73-year-old man who was killed in a package explosion in Queens.

Friends and relatives of George Wray will gather at Union Baptist Church at Hempstead in Nassau County from 5 p.m.-9 p.m. to say their final goodbye.

Wray picked up an oatmeal container filled with gunpowder on the porch of a home in Springfield Gardens, and it blew up. Investigators don't think Wray was the intended target.

No arrests have been made.
